Coherence of a field gradient driven singlet-triplet qubit coupled to multielectron spin states in 28Si/SiGe

Engineered spin-electric coupling enables spin qubits in semiconductor nanostructures to be manipulated efficiently and addressed individually. While synthetic spin-orbit coupling using a micromagnet is widely investigated for driving and entangling qubits based on single spins in silicon, the baseband control of encoded spin qubits with a micromagnet in isotopically purified silicon has been less well investigated. Here, we demonstrate fast singlet-triplet qubit oscillation (~100 MHz) in a gate-defined double quantum dot in 28Si/SiGe with an on-chip micromagnet with which we show the oscillation quality factor of an encoded spin qubit exceeding 580. The coherence time T2* is analyzed as a function of potential detuning and an external magnetic field. In weak magnetic fields, the coherence is limited by frequency-independent noise whose time scale is faster than the typical data acquisition time of ~100 ms, which limits the T2* below 1 μs in the ergodic limit. We present evidence of sizable and coherent coupling of the qubit with the spin states of a nearby quantum dot, demonstrating that appropriate spin-electric coupling may enable a charge-based two-qubit gate in a (1,1) charge configuration.
