Ultrafast electric phase control of a single exciton qubit

We report on the coherent phase manipulation of quantum dot excitons by electric means. For our experiments, we use a low capacitance single quantum dot photodiode which is electrically controlled by a custom designed SiGe:C BiCMOS chip. The phase manipulation is performed and quantified in a Ramsey experiment, where ultrafast transient detuning of the exciton energy is performed synchronous to double pulse π/2 ps laser excitation. We are able to demonstrate electrically controlled phase manipulations with magnitudes up to 3π within 100 ps which is below the dephasing time of the quantum dot exciton.

In-plane optimal qubit operation with control fidelities exceeding 99 %

Hole spin qubits based on semiconductor quantum dots are promising for building future large-scale quantum computers owing to their all-electrical manipulation. However, abundant physical mechanisms of valence band holes lead to anisotropic qubit properties. There is an opportunity to prolong the coherence time and achieve high-fidelity qubit manipulations. Here, we report a single-hole spin qubit in a planar germanium quantum dot and investigate its anisotropic susceptibility to charge noise under an in-plane magnetic field. By correlating the longitudinal spin-electric susceptibility with qubit coherence and control performance, we identify an optimal operating point where the sensitivity to charge noise is minimized. We find that optimizing the magnetic-field orientation reduces the spin-electric susceptibility, resulting in a five-fold enhancement of the Hahn-echo coherence time and a nearly tenfold suppression of control infidelity. At the optimal operating point, gate set tomography demonstrates the maximum gate fidelity of 99.82 %. Our finding enhances the prospects of hole spin qubits for scalable quantum information processing.

All-electrical coherent control of the exciton states in a single quantum dot

A. Boyer de la Giroday, Anthony J. Bennett, Matthew A. Pooley +6 more

We demonstrate high-fidelity reversible transfer of quantum information from the polarization of photons into the spin state of an electron-hole pair in a semiconductor quantum dot. Moreover, spins are electrically manipulated on a subnanosecond time scale, allowing us to coherently control their evolution. By varying the area of the electrical pulse, we demonstrate phase-shift and spin-flip gate operations with near-unity fidelities. Our system constitutes a controllable quantum interface between flying and stationary qubits, an enabling technology for quantum logic in the solid state.
