We study exchange coupling in Si double quantum dots, which have been proposed as suitable candidates for spin qubits due to their long spin coherence times. We discuss in detail two alternative schemes which have been proposed for implementing spin qubits in quantum dots. One scheme uses spin states in a single dot and the interdot exchange coupling controls interactions between unbiased dots. The other scheme employs the singlet and triplet states of a biased double dot as the two-level system making up the qubit and exchange controls the energy splitting of the levels. Exchange in these two configurations depends differently on system parameters. Our work relies on the Heitler-London approximation and the Hund-Mulliken molecular orbital method. The results we obtain enable us to investigate the sensitivity of the system to background charge fluctuations and determine the conditions under which optimal spots, at which the influence of the charge noise is minimized, may exist in Si double quantum dot structures.
