Silicon chips hosting a single donor can be used to store and manipulate one bit of quantum information. However, a central challenge for realizing quantum logic operations is to couple donors to one another in a controllable way. To achieve this, several proposals rely on using nearby quantum dots (QDs) to mediate an interaction. In this work, we demonstrate the coherent coupling of electron spins between a single 31 P donor and an enriched 28 Si metal-oxide-semiconductor few-electron QD. We show that the electron-nuclear spin interaction on the donor can drive coherent rotations between singlet and triplet electron spin states of the QD-donor system. Moreover, we are able to tune electrically the exchange interaction between the QD and donor electrons. Furthermore, the combination of single-nucleus-driven rotations and voltage-tunable exchange provides every key element for future all-electrical control of spin qubits, while requiring only a single QD and no additional magnetic field gradients

Multi-qubit gates protected by adiabaticity and dynamical decoupling applicable to donor qubits in silicon

Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Witzel, Wayne M.; Muller, Richard P.; Carroll, M.S.

In this paper, we present a strategy for producing multiqubit gates that promise high fidelity with minimal tuning requirements. Our strategy combines gap protection from the adiabatic theorem with dynamical decoupling in a complementary manner. Energy-level transition errors are protected by adiabaticity and remaining phase errors are mitigated via dynamical decoupling. This is a powerful way to divide and conquer the various error channels. In order to accomplish this without violating a no-go theorem regarding black-box dynamically corrected gates [Phys. Rev. A 80, 032314 (2009)], we require a robust operating point (sweet spot) in control space where the qubits interact with little sensitivity to noise. There are also energy gap requirements for effective adiabaticity. We apply our strategy to an architecture in Si with P donors where we assume we can shuttle electrons between different donors. Electron spins act as mobile ancillary qubits and P nuclear spins act as long-lived data qubits. Furthermore, this system can have a very robust operating point where the electron spin is bound to a donor in the quadratic Stark shift regime. High fidelity single qubit gates may be performed using well-established global magnetic resonance pulse sequences. Single electron-spin preparation and measurement has also been demonstrated. Thus, putting this all together, we present a robust universal gate set for quantum computation.
