Single electron spins in quantum dots are a strong candidate for quantum computers, owing to their potential for scalable manufacturing. While most recent advances have been in the isolation from electric and magnetic noise sources to enhance spin coherence, a sizable spin-electric coupling will be necessary for spin manipulations. Here, we demonstrate experimentally how to fulfill the trade-off between coherence and controllability at an isotopically-enhanced level and achieve single-qubit gate fidelities above 99.9%. We further reveal that the spin coherence is now limited by charge noise – in contrast to conventional magnetic noise – characterized by a 1/f spectrum. Our work presents a promising route to large-scale spin-qubit systems with fault-tolerant controllability.
