Probing charge noise in bilayer graphene quantum dots by Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana spectroscopy
Charge noise is an important factor limiting qubit coherence and relaxation in solid-state devices. In bilayer graphene (BLG) quantum dots, recently established as a promising platform for spin- and valley-based qubits, both the origin and magnitude of charge noise remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigate high-frequency charge noise using Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana (LZSM) interference spectroscopy. We study a single-particle charge qubit formed in a BLG double quantum dot at frequencies between 5 and 10 GHz and extract a noise spectral density $S_\varepsilon$ on the order of 0.5-0.9 neV$/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$. This is comparable to values reported for III-V semiconductor platforms and silicon. From the temperature and frequency dependence of the charge qubit decoherence, we conclude that thermal (Johnson) noise or electron-phonon coupling dominates over two-level fluctuators.
