Silicon qubits find the right pulse

Pulse engineering techniques can reduce error rates in silicon quantum dot spin qubits by a factor of three compared with state-of-the-art silicon devices. The schematic illustration on the cover highlights the errors (depicted as coloured stripes) accumulated over time for a 90° rotation of two single-spin qubits in a noisy environment, one using conventional square pulse control (far) and the other using optimized pulse engineering techniques (near).
