Hybridization and spin decoherence in heavy-hole quantum dots — •Jan Fischer1 and Daniel Loss2 — 1Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Regensburg, 93040 Regensburg, Germany — 2Department of Physics, University of Basel, 4056 Basel, Switzerland
We theoretically investigate the spin dynamics of a heavy hole confined to a III-V semiconductor quantum dot interacting with a narrowed nuclear-spin bath [1]. We show that band hybridization leads to an exponential decay of hole-spin superpositions due to hyperfine-mediated nuclear pair flips, and that the accordant single-hole-spin decoherence time T2 can be tuned over many orders of magnitude by changing external parameters. In particular, we show that, under experimentally accessible conditions, it is possible to suppress hyperfine-mediated nuclear-pair-flip processes so strongly that hole-spin quantum dots may be operated beyond the ‘ultimate limitation’ set by the hyperfine interaction which is present in other spin-qubit candidate systems.
