A quantum computer is able to solve certain problems that cannot be solved by a classical computer within a reasonable time. The building block of a quantum computer is called a quantum bit (qubit), the counterpart of the conventional binary digit (bit). A qubit unavoidably interacts with its environment, leading to errors in the qubit state. This article reports on the qubit performance of an electron spin in a silicon/silicon-germanium (Si/SiGe) quantum dot, and examines the dominant error mechanisms. We demonstrate that this qubit can be electrically controlled with sufficient accuracy so that remaining errors could, in principle, be corrected using known protocols, even without isotopically purified silicon. This qubit also offers a quantum memory that lasts for almost 0.5 ms.
