Cyclically operated Single Microwave Photon Counter with sensitivity
Léo Balembois, Jaime Travesedo, Louis Pallegoix +7
Single photon detection played an important role in the development of quantum optics. Its implementation in the microwave domain is challenging because the photon energy is 5 orde…
Microwave fluorescence detection of spin echoes
Eric Billaud, Leo Balembois, Marianne Le Dantec +9
Counting the microwave photons emitted by an ensemble of electron spins when they relax radiatively has recently been proposed as a sensitive method for electron paramagnetic reson…
Twenty-three millisecond electron spin coherence of erbium ions in a natural-abundance crystal
Marianne Le Dantec, MiloÅ¡ RanÄiÄ, Sen Lin +12
Erbium ions doped into crystals have unique properties for quantum information processing, because of their optical transition at 1.5 m and of the large magnetic moment of thei…
Detecting spins with a microwave photon counter
Emanuele Albertinale, Léo Balembois, Eric Billaud +7
Quantum emitters respond to resonant illumination by radiating electromagnetic fields. A component of these fields is phase-coherent with the driving tone, while another one is inc…
Single electron-spin-resonance detection by microwave photon counting
Zhiren Wang, Léo Balembois, Milos RanÄiÄ +10
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is the method of choice for characterizing paramagnetic impurities, with applications ranging from chemistry to quantum computing, but it…
