Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain interesting problems
significantly faster than classical computers. To exploit the power of a
quantum computation it is necessary to perform inter-qubit operations and
generate entangled states. Spin qubits are a promising candidate for
implementing a quantum processor due to their potential for scalability and
miniaturization. However, their weak interactions with the environment, which
leads to their long coherence times, makes inter-qubit operations challenging.
We perform a controlled two-qubit operation between singlet-triplet qubits
using a dynamically decoupled sequence that maintains the two-qubit coupling
while decoupling each qubit from its fluctuating environment. Using state
tomography we measure the full density matrix of the system and determine the
concurrence and the fidelity of the generated state, providing proof of
entanglement.
