Spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots achieve their longest coherence times at zero magnetic field when nuclear spins are suppressed, making zero-field operation attractive. It also promises reduced control complexity by removing the need for magnets and enabling electrical, baseband manipulation. In this talk, I present a control framework that realizes universal quantum computation in sparse quantum-dot arrays operating entirely at zero magnetic field. Initialization and readout rely on singlet-triplet energy separation and Pauli spin blockade. Single-qubit gates emerge geometrically: when a qubit is shuttled around closed loops in the array, it accumulates a non-Abelian Berry phase that implements a deterministic SU(2) rotation. Although the number of accessible loops, and thus the native gate set, is discrete, we show that in generic devices two loops already provide full single-qubit controllability. Moreover, the same pair of loops suffices for complete quantum process tomography, enabling characterization of decoherence in zero-field architectures. Combined with exchange-based entangling gates, these results position sparse quantum-dot arrays as a promising platform for high-coherence, all-electric quantum computation without magnetic fields or microwave pulses.
