Flying electron spin control gates.

ABSTRACT: The control of "flying" (or moving) spin qubits is an important functionality for the manipulation and exchange of quantum information between remote locations on a chip. Typically, gates based on electric or magnetic fields provide the necessary perturbation for their control either globally or at well-defined locations. Here, we demonstrate the dynamic control of moving electron spins via contactless gates that move together with the spins. The concept is realized using electron spins trapped and transported by moving potential dots defined by a surface acoustic wave (SAW). The SAW strain at the electron trapping site, which is set by the SAW amplitude, acts as a contactless, tunable gate that controls the precession frequency of the flying spins via the spin-orbit interaction. We show t
