• Abstract: The valley degree of freedom in honeycomb crystals such as 2D semiconductors, graphene and bilayer graphene is a promising carrier of quantum information alongside spin and charge. This is all the more true since gate-controlled single-particle quantum dots (QDs) have been demonstrated in bilayer graphene (BLG), paving the way for the realisation of spin and valley qubits. Although long spin relaxation times have recently been reported in BLG QDs, nothing is known about single-particle valley lifetimes. Here we report single-particle valley relaxation times ($T_1$ times) exceeding several microseconds in electrostatically defined BLG QDs. The observed dependence of $T_1$ on the perpendicular magnetic field can be understood qualitatively and quantitatively by a model in which $T_1$ is limited by electron-phonon coupling. We identify coupling to acoustic phonons via the bond length change and via the deformation potential as the limiting mechanisms.

  A novel type of qubit (Kramers qubit) encoded in the two-dimensional spin-valley subspace becomes accessible. We demonstrate ultra-long spin-valley relaxation times of the Kramers qubit exceeding $30mathrms$. The demonstrated high-fidelity single-shot readout and long relaxation times are the foundation for novel, long-lived semiconductor qubits.

  We investigate the valley relaxation due to intervalley coupling in a single-electron bilayer graphene quantum dot. The dominant valley relaxation channel in the high-field regime is the electron-phonon coupling via the deformation potential. Interlayer hopping $gamma_3$ opens a valley relaxation channel for electric charge noise for rotationally symmetric quantum dots in bilayer graphene.

The relaxation time between valley triplets and singlets exceeds 500ms, and is more than one order of magnitude longer than for spin states.
