Long-lived divergence from equilibrium of electrons, nuclear spins and lattice for a solid state ion trap at low temperature
Guy Matmon, Manuel Grimm, Markus Mueller +3
A fundamental problem in physics as well as engineering is equilibration. For example, the regulation of thermal and quantum fluctuations enables thermal and quantum annealing of c…
Optical characterization of excited-state spin Hamiltonians and clock transitions at telecommunication wavelength in Tm3+:YAlO3
Akshay Babu Karyath, Luozhen Li, Julien Bertrand +6
The zero-phonon line (ZPL) between the two excited-state manifolds 3F4 and 3H4 of the trivalent thulium ion in yttrium aluminum perovskite (Tm3+:YAlO3) lies within the telecom E-ba…
Kinetics of electron-phonon scattering in silicon resolved by Rydberg transitions of donors
Nils Dessmann, Aidan G. McConnell, Sergey G. Pavlov +6
Rydberg states of atoms in vacuum are now well recognized as a resource for quantum technologies. Donors in semiconductors also display analogous states, which have been proposed f…
All-optical control of second-harmonic generation in -BaBO via coherent, terahertz-driven acentric lattice displacement
Flavio Giorgianni, Nicola Colonna, Gabriel Nagamine +6
Dynamical control of the nonlinear optical properties of solids -- with light itself -- will be essential for future ultrafast photonic technologies. Previously, methods to modulat…
Profiling THz Beams With Off-Label Use of Infrared Microbolometric Cameras
Gabriel Nagamine, Carlo Vicario, Tariq Leinen +6
Visualizing the spatial profile of light beams is essential for evaluating irradiance, characterizing beam quality, and achieving precise alignment. In the optical spectral range,…
Rapid high-temperature initialisation and readout of spins in silicon with 10 THz photons
Aidan G. McConnell, Nils Dessmann, Wojciech Adamczyk +6
Each cycle of a quantum computation requires a quantum state initialisation. For semiconductor-based quantum platforms, initialisation is typically performed via slow microwave pro…
