Hole spin in tunable Ge hut wire double quantum dot

Abstract: Holes in germanium (Ge) exhibit strong spin-orbit interaction, which can be exploited for fast and all-electrical manipulation of spin states. Here, we report transport experiments in a tunable Ge hut wire hole double quantum dot. We observe the signatures of Pauli spin blockade (PSB) with a large singlet-triplet energy splitting of ~1.1 meV and extract the g factor. By analyzing the the PSB leakage current, we obtain a spin-orbit length l_so of ~ 40-100 nm. Furthermore, we demonstrate the electric dipole spin resonance. These results lay a solid foundation for implementing high quality tunable hole spin-orbit qubits.
