Abstract
In this paper we investigate the impact of gating potential and magnetic field on phonon induced spin relaxation rate and the speed of the electrically driven single-qubit operations inside the InSb nanowire spin qubit. We show that a strong g factor and high magnetic field strength lead to the prevailing influence of electron-phonon scattering due to deformation potential, considered irrelevant for materials with a weak g factor, like GaAs or Si/SiGe. In this regime we find that spin relaxation between qubit states is significantly suppressed due to the confinement perpendicular to the nanowire axis. We also find that maximization of the number of single-qubit operations that can be performed during the lifetime of the spin qubit requres single quantum dot gating potential.
