Dynamical decoupling of spin ensembles with strong anisotropic interactions

Abstract

Ensembles of dopants have widespread applications in quantum technology. The miniaturization of corresponding devices is however hampered by dipolar interactions that reduce the coherence at increased dopant density. We theoretically and experimentally investigate this limitation. We find that dynamical decoupling can alleviate, but not fully eliminate, the decoherence in crystals with strong anisotropic spin-spin interactions. Our findings can be generalized to all quantum systems with anisotropic g-factor used for quantum sensing, microwave-to-optical conversion, and quantum memory.

Second version of the manuscript contains additional measurements, in which dynamical decoupling in the absence of strong spin-spin interactions is demonstrated
