Bichromatic Rabi control of semiconductor spin qubits

ORAL

Abstract

Electrically driven spin resonance constitutes an essential method for the control of spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots. While established in small qubit systems, it remains unclear how to perform selective qubit rotations in scalable qubit architectures with shared control terminals.

Here, we experimentally demonstrate the coherent bichromatic Rabi control of hole spin qubits, as a method that may overcome this challenge. Upon applying two microwave bursts whose frequencies sum (or difference) matches the qubits resonance, we observe rapid qubit rotations with frequency of 4 MHz, which are controllable by the amplitude of both tones.

Furthermore, upon shifting the gate operation point along the quantum dots detuning axis, we obtain insights into the possible origins of this mechanism. We envision the bichromatic driving scheme as a possible strategy for spatial qubit addressability in large quantum dot arrays.
