This study investigates the interplay between exchange coupling and microwave drives in spin qubit systems, revealing distinct beating patterns and exchange-split Rabi chevrons under specific frequency conditions. By developing a theoretical model that reproduces these experimental features, the research advances the fundamental understanding of control mechanisms essential for scaling quantum processors. This work directly addresses critical challenges in optimizing qubit dynamics and fidelity within solid-state quantum architectures.
Effects of residual exchange coupling on simultaneously driven spin qubits
arXiv:2609.15751v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Exchange coupling and microwave drives are widely used control mechanisms for spin qubits. However, the influence of exchange coupling on microwave-driven spin dynamics is not fully understood. We report simultaneous drive measurements of two spin qubits as a function of exchange coupling and drive power. When the Rabi frequency exceeds exchange, we observe a beating pattern in the Rabi oscillations. In the opposite limit, two exchange-split patterns emerge in the Rabi chevrons. We find that these exchange-induced effects are suppressed when the difference in the Rabi frequencies exceeds the exchange coupling. A theoretical model is developed that reproduces the main features in our data.
