Abstract
We propose an optimized set of quantum gates for a singlet-triplet qubit in a double quantum dot with two electrons utilizing the subspace. Qubit rotations are driven by the applied magnetic field and a field gradient provided by a micromagnet. We optimize the fidelity of this qubit as a function of the magnetic fields, taking advantage of “sweet spots” where the rotation frequencies are independent of the energy level detuning, providing protection against charge noise. We simulate gate operations and qubit rotations in the presence of quasistatic noise from charge and nuclear spins as well as leakage to nonqubit states. Our results show that, for silicon quantum dots, gate fidelities greater than should be realizable, for rotations about two nearly orthogonal axes.
