摘要
We utilize electron counting techniques to distinguish a spin-conserving fast tunneling process and a slower process involving spin flips in AlGaAs/GaAs-based double quantum dots. By studying the dependence of the rates on the interdot tunnel coupling of the two dots, we find that as many as 4% of the tunneling events occur with a spin flip related to spin-orbit coupling in GaAs. Our measurement has a fidelity of 99% in terms of resolving whether a tunneling event occurred with a spin flip or not.
