Abstract:
Nuclear-spin qubits in donor systems have emerged as promising platforms for quantum computing. Here, we demonstrate individual, high-fidelity coherent control of four phosphorus nuclear spins in a silicon donor cluster, where each nucleus is coupled to a central electron via a distinct hyperfine interaction. We investigate theoretically and experimentally how hyperfine interactions modulate nuclear Rabi frequencies under different electron-spin states. By calibrating the driving magnetic field using the ionized bare nucleus as an in situ atomic-scale sensor, we validate the theoretical model and find excellent agreement with the experiment. These results highlight the role of hyperfine interactions in nuclear-spin control and provide a new perspective for designing fast, high-fidelity, single-qubit gates in donor-based quantum processors.

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Spin
Atomic nuclei have a net nuclear spin, , which can have an integer or half-integer value. In atomic nuclei, the spins of protons are paired against each other but not with neutrons, and vice versa. Consequently, an even number of protons does not contribute to...
