<jats:p>In semiconductor-based quantum technologies, the capability to shuttle charges between components is profoundly enabling. We numerically simulated various “conveyor-belt” shuttling scenarios for simple <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><a:mrow><a:mi>Si</a:mi><a:mo>/</a:mo><a:msub><a:mi>SiO</a:mi><a:mn>2</a:mn></a:msub></a:mrow></a:math> devices, explicitly modeling the electron's wave function using grid-based split-operator methods and a time-dependent 2D potential (obtained from a Poisson solver). This allowed us to fully characterize the electron loss probability and excitation fraction. Remarkably, with as few as three independent electrodes, the process can remain near-perfectly adiabatic even in the presence of pulse imperfection, nearby charge defects, and Johnson-Nyquist noise. Only a substantial density of charge defects, or defects at “adversarial” locations, can catastrophically disrupt the charge shuttling. While we do not explicitly model the spin or valley degrees of freedom, our results from this charge propagation study support the conclusion that conveyor-belt shuttling is an excellent candidate for providing connectivity in semiconductor quantum devices.</jats:p>
