Quantum Gates with Oscillating Exchange Interaction

Abstract: Two-qubit gates between spin qubits are often performed using a rectangular or an adiabatic exchange interaction pulse resulting in a CZ gate. An oscillating exchange pulse not only performs a CZ gate, but also enables the iSWAP gate, which offers more flexibility to perform quantum algorithms. We provide a detailed description for two-qubit gates using resonant and off-resonant exchange pulses, give conditions for performing the respective gates, and compare their performance to the state-of-the-art static counterpart. We find that for relatively low charge noise the gates still perform reliably and compare to the conventional CZ gate.
