Dynamics of entanglement of two singlet-triplet qubits: role of nuclear spin baths and charge noise

A singlet-triplet (S-T) qubits is a promising realization of a spin qubit, in which a quantum state of the qubit is stored in the joint spin state of two electrons located in two quantum dots [1]. The two states of the logical qubit are the singlet |Si and spin-unpolarized triplet |T0> two-electron states. Recently it has been shown that it is possible in the experiment to perform a procedure of entangling of two S-T qubits [2]. However, the states obtained in that experiment were not maximally entangled – due to interaction with environmental noise these states were partially mixed. In the talk I will present a theoretical analysis of factors that do not allow for obtaining a maximally entangled state of two S-T qubits: fluctuations of gradient of effective magnetic field (the Overhauser field due to the nuclei) between the two dots electrons in a qubit, and fluctuations of the exchange splitting between |S> and |T0> states, caused by 1/f-like charge noise.
