Abstract

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond provide room-temperature electron-nuclear spin registers for quantum sensing and quantum information processing, with surrounding 13C nuclear spins serving as long-lived quantum memories. However, coherent control of large nuclear-spin registers is limited by finite electron-spin coherence and spectral addressability. Existing approaches follow two complementary strategies: dynamical-decoupling (DD) gates exploit filter-function resonances to realize selective conditional evolution but permit only discrete rotation angles, whereas dynamical-decoupling radio-frequency (DDrf) control restores continuous tunability at the cost of stringent hyperfine-geometry and RF-power requirements. Here, we introduce hybrid dynamical-decoupling and radio-frequency (H-DDrf) control, which preserves the DD-induced conditional evolution and employs a geometrically phase-matched RF drive to complete the target operation. This approach reduces both RF power and gate duration while maintaining high-fidelity control, thereby expanding the accessible 13C nuclear-spin register for room-temperature NV-based quantum memories and quantum processors.

All-optical universal control of nuclear-spin qudits in trapped neutral atoms

Quantum systems with more than two levels—so-called qudits — offer increased computational density and reduced circuit complexity compared to qubit-based architectures, but achieving universal and scalable control remains challenging.

Coherence protection of a silicon hole spin qubit with phase-modulated microwave driving

Hole spins in silicon quantum dots are a promising platform for quantum computing due to their strong intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC), which enables fast, all-electrical control. However, this coupling also increases their susceptibility to charge noise, thereby limiting coherence times. Moreover, holes in silicon...

Robust two-qubit gates in silicon double quantum dots with composite pulses and optimized exchange control

Robust two-qubit gates are essential for scalable silicon spin qubits, but their fidelities are limited by microwave-control imperfections and charge-noise-induced exchange fluctuations. We propose a practical scheme for robust controlled-Z (CZ) and controlled-NOT (CNOT) gates in a silicon double quantum dot. By appl...
