High-fidelity initialization of long-lived quantum dot hole spin qubits by reduced fine-structure splitting

We demonstrate an on-demand hole spin qubit initialization scheme meeting four key requirements of quantum information processing: fast initialization (1/e ~ 100 ps), high fidelity (F > 99%), long qubit lifetime $(2T_{1}>T_{2}^{*}\simeq10\:\mathrm{ns})$, and compatibility with optical coherent control schemes. This is achieved by rapidly ionizing an exciton in an InGaAs quantum dot with very low fine-structure splitting at zero magnetic field. Furthermore, we show that the hole spin fidelity of an arbitrary quantum dot can be increased by optical Stark effect tuning of the fine-structure splitting close to zero.
