• Abstract: Spin shuttling has crystalized as a powerful and promising tool for establishing intermediate-range connectivity in semiconductor spin-qubit devices. Although experimental demonstrations have performed exceptionally well on different materials platforms, the question of how to handle areas of low valley splitting in silicon during shuttling remains unresolved. In this work, we explore the possibility of utilizing the valley degree of freedom, particularly in regions of low valley splitting, to allow mobile spin qubits to be shuttled through an occupied stationary quantum dot, thereby leapfrogging over the stationary electron. This not only grants a more enriched mobility for shuttled electrons, as it opens new possible routing paths, but also enables the implementation of an entangling SWAP$^γ$ two-qubit gate operation in the process. Simulating this process for different sets of parameters, we demonstrate the feasibility of such an operation and offer a unique use case for otherwise precarious regions of a quantum processor chip and propose a possible extension to the set of possible operations for silicon spin qubit devices.

  We demonstrate the possibility of significantly outperforming static EDSR-type single-qubit pulsing by taking advantage of the larger spatial mobility to achieve larger Rabi frequencies.
