Abstract
Electron shuttling is emerging as a key mechanism for enabling long-range coupling in scalable spin-qubit architectures. Bringing shuttling waveform generation into the cryostat can improve scalability, but imposes strict area and power constraints on the control electronics. Concurrently, shuttling in Si/SiGe is further limited by a spatially varying valley splitting that induces spin--valley mixing and degrades coherence. Here, we make three contributions that address these limitations jointly: (i) an end-to-end co-simulation framework that combines disorder-informed valley maps with transistor-level cryogenic circuit simulations including electronic noise; (ii) a fully integrated cryogenic shuttling-signal generator tailored to velocity modulation, enabling period-wise waveform shaping through discrete circuit settings stored in on-chip memory; and (iii) a noise-aware optimization procedure that tunes only these implementable circuit controls, using one of four discrete resistor settings per period, to generate high-fidelity shuttling sequences. Across simulated valley and noise realizations in our co-simulation framework, the optimized velocity-modulation waveforms improve transport performance, achieving an average shuttling fidelity of 99.99 pm 0.007\% at vavg = 20 mathrm{m s-1} over a distance of 10 μm, while maintaining active analog power consumption in the tens of μW during shuttling. This validates on-chip storage and replay of optimized control settings as a practical strategy to mitigate valley disorder in scalable shuttling architectures.
