Geometric phases arising from cyclic evolution of quantum systems open new strategies for constructing robust quantum technologies. Here, we demonstrate arbitrary single qubit holonomic gates from a single cycle of nonadiabatic evolution of the electron spin of an NV-center [1]. Our method varies the amplitude, phase, and detuning of a two-tone optical field to gain full control over the state of the qubit with arbitrary rotation axes and angles. We analyze the robustness of detuned gates using the Lindblad formalism and show the gate fidelity to be mostly defined by the lifetime of the excited state of the NV. We experimentally and theoretically prove that single cycle gates are better than those consisting of two concatenated cycles.
