Abstract

The manipulation fidelity of a single electron qubit gate-confined in a Si/SiGe quantum dot has recently been drastically improved by nuclear isotope purification. Here, we identify the dominant source for low-frequency qubit detuning noise in a device with an embedded nanomagnet, a remaining Si concentration of only 60ppm in the strained Si quantum well layer and a spin echo decay time s. The power spectral density (PSD) of the charge noise explains both the observed transition of a - to a -dependence of the detuning noise PSD as well as the observation of a decreasing time-ensemble spin dephasing time from s with increasing measurement time over several hours. Despite their strong hyperfine contact interaction, the few Ge nuclei overlapping with the quantum dot in the barrier do not limit , as their dynamics is frozen on a few hours measurement scale. We conclude that charge noise and the design of the gradient magnetic field is the key to further improve the qubit fidelity.
