Dynamical decoupling of a singlet-triplet qubit afflicted by a charge fluctuator

Abstract

The efficiency of dynamical decoupling pulse sequences in removing noise due to a charge fluctuator is studied for a singlet-triplet spin qubit. We develop a numerical method to solve the dynamical equations for all three components of the Bloch vector under a general pulse protocol, and with an arbitrary rotation axis. The qubit is shown to undergo both dephasing and dissipative dynamics, pending on its working point. Analytical solutions are found for the limits of weakly and strongly coupled fluctuators, shedding light on the distinct dynamics in the different parameter regimes. Scaling of the qubit decay time with the number of control pulses is found to follow a power law over a wide range of TLF parameters and qubit bias points.
