Popis: Hole qubits in germanium quantum dots are promising candidates for coherent control and manipulation of the spin degree of freedom through electric dipole spin resonance. We theoretically study the time dynamics of a single heavy-hole qubit in a laser-driven planar germanium quantum dot confined laterally by a harmonic potential in presence of linear and cubic Rashba spin-orbit couplings and an out-of-plane magnetic field. We obtain an approximate analytical formula of the Rabi frequency using a Schrieffer-Wolff transformation and establish a connection of our model with the ESDR results obtained for this system. For stronger beams, we employ different methods such as unitary transformation and Floquet theory to study the time evolution numerically. We observe that high radiation intensity is not suitable for the qubit rotation due to the presence of high frequency noise superimposed on the Rabi oscillations. We display the Floquet spectrum and highlight the quasienergy levels responsible for the Rabi oscillations in the Floquet picture. We study the interplay of both the types of Rashba couplings and show that the Rabi oscillations, which are brought about by the linear Rashba coupling, vanish for typical values of the cubic Rashba coupling in this system.
