Spectroscopy of spin-orbit quantum bits in indium antimonide nanowires

Abstract

Double quantum dot in the few-electron regime is achieved using local gating in an InSb nanowire. The spectrum of two-electron eigenstates is investigated using electric dipole spin resonance. Singlet-triplet level repulsion caused by spin-orbit interaction is observed. The size and the anisotropy of singlet-triplet repulsion are used to determine the magnitude and the orientation of the spin-orbit effective field in an InSb nanowire double dot. The obtained results are confirmed using spin blockade leakage current anisotropy and transport spectroscopy of individual quantum dots.Comment: 5 pages, supplementary material available at http://link.aps.org/supplemental/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.16680
