Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) electron/hole gases confined in semiconductor heterostructures suffer from weak Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for manipulating spin degreee of freedom via an electric rather than a magnetic field. Here, we show that complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology-accessible strain could substantially enhance the linear Rashba SOC of the top hole subband in Ge/SiGe quantum wells (QWs) to a level comparable to that of 2D Rashba materials through enhancing the mixture of the light-hole and heavy-hole bands. We further show that strongly enhanced Rashba SOC boosts the Rabi frequency of hole spin qubits confined in Ge/SiGe QWs by two orders of magnitude to an unprecedented 40 GHz, more than one order of magnitude faster than other qubit platforms. We also demonstrate that the hole spin rotation with Rabi frequency > 25 GHz enters a new regime being immune to gate control-induced electric noise, opening a new avenue to simultaneously improve the gate speed and gate fidelity. Our findings provide a new routine to substantially enhance the Rashba SOC in 2D semiconductor hole gases to a level that is great for spintronic applications.
