Abstract
Accurately controlling entangling gates remains a major challenge for quantum technology applications with solid-state spin qubits. Here, we study a group-IV color-center with a strongly-coupled nuclear spin and approach the problem from a quantum control perspective. We show that there are three different types of entangling gates where the entanglement is mediated by the parallel hyperfine-coupling component, the orthogonal one or both. We derive the respective quantum speed limits (QSL) and show by means of dynamical decoupling, resonant driving of single- and double-quantum transitions, quantum optimal control and algebraic gate decomposition how these gates can be realized. We finally discuss the experimental applicability.
