Although the properties of spin-based qubits are specified by the material system they reside in, it’s possible to modify those properties by encoding a qubit into multiple physical spins. Here we consider new operating regimes for encoded spin qubits and discuss their relevance to spin-based quantum computing and qubit-qubit coupling, especially in silicon quantum dot systems. We will also briefly discuss recent developments in g-factor theory in silicon quantum dots and their possible implications.
We introduce an always-on, exchange-only qubit made up of three localized semiconductor spins that offers a true “sweet spot” to fluctuations of the quantum dot energy levels. Both single- and two-qubit gate operations can be performed using only exchange pulses while maintaining this sweet spot. We show how to interconvert this qubit to other three-spin encoded qubits as a new resource for quantum computation and communication.
