| Abstract: | Two-level systems are the prototypical realization of a quantum bit (qubit), and as such, their coherent control is a key element in novel quantum devices and applications. In this work we study, theoretically and experimentally, the time-optimal construction of arbitrary single-qubit rotations, under a single, strong driving field of finite amplitude. We propose and realize a strongly-driven spin system using radiation-dressed states of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, which are driven four times faster than their Larmor frequency. We implement and characterize the designed time-optimal universal gates on this system, and use these gates to demonstrate a dualaxis dynamical decoupling sequence with pulses at sub-Larmor time scales. |
