Strong ‘spin’-orbit coupled one-dimensional hole gas is achievable in a Ge nanowire in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The strong magnetic field lifts the two-fold degeneracy in the hole subband dispersions, such that the effective low-energy subband dispersion exhibits strong ‘spin’-orbit coupling. Here, we study the electrical ‘spin’ manipulation in a Ge nanowire quantum dot for both the lowest and second lowest hole subband dispersions. Using a finite square well to model the quantum dot confining potential, we calculate exactly the level splitting of the ‘spin’-orbit qubit and the Rabi frequency in the electric-dipole ‘spin’ resonance. The ‘spin’-orbit coupling modulated longitudinal g-factor g
so is not only non-vanishing but also magnetic field dependent. Moreover, the ‘spin’-orbit couplings of the lowest and second lowest subband dispersions have opposite magnetic dependences, such that the results for these two subband dispersions are totally different.
