Spin qubit operations by conveyor-mode shuttling

Abstract

Dynamic qubit routing is emerging as a promising architectural path for semiconductor quantum processors. Charge carriers can be rapidly moved around on a chip using traveling-wave potentials known as conveyors, preserving the spin state with high fidelity. Originally developed for spin transport, conveyor-mode shuttling may also offer opportunities for performing qubit operations directly controlled by the motion itself. Here, we demonstrate coherent single- and two-qubit control by conveyor-mode electron shuttling, using two conceptually different approaches. First, conveyor electric-dipole spin resonance (conveyor EDSR) achieves high-fidelity rotations by resonantly shuttling spins through transverse magnetic-field gradients at their mean Larmor frequency. Second, conveyor diabatic gates exploit quantization-axis tilts for tunable bang-bang control. Combining diabatic conveyor transport with exchange activation controlled by the motion directly yields a variety of effective two-qubit interactions selectable via the shuttling speed and distance. These experimental results motivate an architectural paradigm of reconfigurable and transport-driven spin qubits.
