Coherent dynamics of multi-spin ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{B}}^{-}$ centers in hexagonal boron nitride

Abstract

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has recently been demonstrated to contain optically polarized and detected electron spins that can be utilized for implementing qubits and quantum sensors in nanolayered-devices. Understanding the coherent dynamics of microwave driven spins in hBN is of crucial importance for advancing these emerging new technologies. Here, we demonstrate and study the Rabi oscillation and related dynamical phenomena of the negatively charged boron vacancy (${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{B}}^{-}$) spins in hBN. We report on different dynamics of the ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{B}}^{-}$ spins at weak and strong magnetic fields. In the former case the defect behaves like a single electron spin system, while in the latter case it behaves like a multi-spin system exhibiting the multiple-frequency dynamical oscillation like clear beat in Ramsey fringes. We also carry out theoretical simulations for the spin dynamics of ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{B}}^{-}$ and reveal that the nuclear spins can be driven via the strong electric-nuclear coupling existing in ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{B}}^{-}$ center, which can be modulated by the magnetic field and microwave field.
