Ge hole spin qubit

Holes confined in quantum dots have gained considerable interest in the past few years due to their potential as spin qubits. Here we demonstrate double quantum dot devices in Ge hut wires. Low temperature transport measurements reveal Pauli spin blockade. We demonstrate electric-dipole spin resonance by applying a radio frequency electric field to one of the electrodes defining the double quantum dot. Next, we induce coherent hole spin oscillations by varying the duration of the microwave burst. Rabi oscillations with frequencies reaching 140MHz are observed. Finally, Ramsey experiments reveal dephasing times of 130ns. The reported results emphasize the potential of Ge as a platform for fast and scalable hole spin qubit devices.
