We demonstrate multipulse quantum control of a single electron charge qubit.
The qubit is manipulated by applying nonadiabatic voltage pulses to a surface
depletion gate and readout is achieved using a quantum point contact charge
sensor. We observe Ramsey fringes in the excited state occupation in response
to a pi/2 - pi/2 pulse sequence and extract T2* ~ 60 ps away from the charge
degeneracy point. Simulations suggest these results may be extended to
implement a charge-echo by reducing the interdot tunnel coupling and pulse rise
time, thereby increasing the nonadiabaticity of the pulses.Comment: Related papers at http://pettagroup.princeton.ed
