The transport of quantum information between different nodes of the device is crucial for a quantum processor. In the context of spin qubits, this can be realized by coherent electron spin shuttling between quantum dots. Here we theoretically study a minimal version of spin shuttling between two quantum dots (QDs) occupied by one electron [1]. We analyze the possibilities and limitations of spin transport during a detuning sweep in a silicon double QD. This research is motivated by recent experimental progress [2,3]. Spin-orbit interaction and an inhomogeneous magnetic field play an important role for spin shuttling and are included in our model. Interactions that couple the position, spin and valley degrees of freedom open avoided crossings in the spectrum allowing for diabatic transitions and interfering paths. The outcomes of single and repeated spin shuttling protocols are explored by means of numerical simulations and an approximate analytic model based on the Landau-Zener model. We find that fast high-fidelity spin-shuttling is feasible for optimal choices of parameters or protected by constructive interference.
