Achieving low-error, exchange-interaction operations in quantum dots for quantum computing imposes simultaneous requirements on the exchange energy's dependence on applied voltages. A double quantum dot qubit, approximated with a quadratic potential, is solved using a full configuration interaction method. This method is more accurate than Heitler-London and Hund-Mulliken approaches and captures new and significant qualitative behavior. We show that multiple regimes can be found in which the exchange energy's dependence on the bias voltage between the dots is compatible with current quantum error correction codes and state-of-the-art electronics. Identifying such regimes may prove valuable for the construction and operation of quantum gates that are robust to charge fluctuations, particularly in the case of dynamically corrected gates.
In the semiconductor double quantum dot singlet-triplet qubit architecture, the decoherence caused by the qubit's charge environment poses a serious obstacle towards large scale quantum computing. The effects of the charge decoherence can be mitigated by operating the qubit in the so-called sweet spot regions where it is insensitive to electrical noise. In this paper, we propose singlet-triplet qubits based on two quantum dots of different sizes. Such asymmetric double quantum dot systems allow the implementation of exchange gates with controllable exchange splitting
J operated in the doubly occupied charge region of the larger dot, where the qubit has high resilience to charge noise. In the larger dot,
J can be quenched to a value smaller than the intradot tunneling using magnetic fields, while the smaller dot and its larger splitting can be used in the projective readout of the qubit.
