Concept 18 of 42 · Silicon, Germanium and Donor Qubits

Germanium hole-spin qubits

Holes offer strong electrically tunable spin–orbit interactions.

01 / Mathematical framework
$$H_Z=\frac{\mu_B}{2}\mathbf B\cdot\mathbf g\cdot\boldsymbol\sigma$$

Physical intuition

Holes offer strong electrically tunable spin–orbit interactions.

Deep dive: physical mechanism

Valence-band mixing yields anisotropic g tensors and electric spin control.

What is measured experimentally?

Electric-drive Rabi oscillations probe hole-spin qubits.

Assumptions, noise and limitations
