Resonant direct CNOT in remote double quantum dot spin qubits

A critical element towards the realization of scalable quantum processors is nonlocal coupling between nodes. Scaling connectivity beyond nearest-neighbor interactions requires the implementation of a mediating interaction often termed a quantum bus. Cavity photons have long been used as a bus by the superconducting qubit community, but it has only recently been demonstrated that spin-based qubits in double quantum dot architectures can reach the strong coupling regime and exhibit spin-spin interactions via the exchange of real or virtual photons. Two-qubit gate operations are predicted in the dispersive regime where cavity loss plays a less prominent role. In this work we combine a cross-resonance entangling drive with simultaneous local rotations to propose a framework for a resonant direct-CNOT operation, between two nonlocal single-spin qubits dispersively coupled to a common mode of a superconducting resonator. We expect gate times near 100 ns and fidelities above 90% with existing technology.
