Abstract

Rotations of a single spin-qubit are demonstrated using only electrical gates. The results of simulations are presented for a typical gated quantum-well structure based on the strong spin-orbit semiconductor InSb, showing typical length and time scales for Hadamard and NOT operations. Approximate analytic expressions are derived for the spin transformations that give excellent agreement with the numerical results and demonstrate the generality of the method.
