Tomography scheme for two spin qubits in a double quantum dot — •Niklas Rohling and Guido Burkard — Department of Physics, University of Konstanz, D-78457 Konstanz, Germany

We present a set of measurements which allows the reconstruction of the density matrix for the full two-qubit space of two electron spins in a double quantum dot. Our scheme employs non-local quantum gates induced by the exchange interaction between the spins and selective single-spin rotations by electron spin resonance (ESR). Recently, both kinds of gates have been realized experimentally in the same quantum dot [1]. Projection on specific states can be achieved by an adiabatic spin-to-charge conversion after applying the quantum gate. State tomography for a singlet-triplet qubit, i.e. a subspace of the full two-qubit space, has been demonstrated [2]. It turns out that ESR is harder to realize than exchange interaction. Whereas ESR is unnecessary to gain full information of the state of a single singlet-triplet qubit, it is needed for state tomography of the full four-dimensional space of two single-spin qubits. For each of the measurements we suggest, no more than one π/2-rotation of one of the spins needs to be done by ESR. We estimate the precision of our tomography scheme in dependence of the fidelity of the quantum gates.
