We study generation and dynamics of an exchange spin qubit encoded in three coherently coupled quantum dots with three electrons. For two geometries of the system, a linear and a triangular one, the creation and coherent control of the qubit states are performed by the Landau–Zener transitions. In the triangular case, both the qubit states are equivalent and can be easily generated for particular symmetries of the system. If one of the dots is smaller than the others, one can observe Rabi oscillations that can be used for coherent manipulation of the qubit states. The linear system is easier to fabricate; however, then the qubit states are not equivalent, making qubit operations more difficult to control.
