• Abstract: Quantum communication, distributed computing, and hybrid architectures rely on nodes enabling coherent control of qubits and coupling to propagating quantum modes. While semiconductor quantum-dot (QD) spins couple to microwave and optical photons, weak interaction with mechanical waves has limited the integration of single-QD spin qubits into on-chip, acoustically coupled hybrid systems. The existing theory of acoustic QD spin control suffers from a limited range of rotation-axis angles, enforcing complex realizations of gate primitives and long gate times, leaving little margin against decoherence from trion decay and quasi-static nuclear-spin noise. We propose parametric control that overcomes these problems. We use far-detuned optical coupling to a trion state to dress and thus mix spin states, combined with acoustic modulation of the optical transition energy. Instead of relying on direct acoustic resonance with the spin splitting that leads to significant bottlenecks, we induce spin rotations parametrically via resonance with the dressed-spin splitting. We thus develop a spin analog of the ``swing-up'' charge-state excitation. Our scheme provides fast universal qubit control with nearly arbitrary rotation axes. Our ${\sim}$155 ps Pauli-$X$ gate duration is ${\sim}290\times$ faster than in the previous acousto-optical formulation and ${\sim}14\times$ faster than optical Faraday-geometry spin rotation. The parametric scheme naturally enables higher-harmonic processes. Numerical simulations for ${\sim}44$ GHz acoustic driving show average gate fidelity $\ge99.9\%$ even for uncooled nuclear-spin environments of GaAs and InAs QDs for trion lifetime $\gtrsim1.25$ ns. These metrics suggest practically usable control and may introduce a spin-phonon interface with high interaction rates, versatility, and multi-phonon processes, essential for future acoustically coupled hybrid architectures.
