Ultrafast control of nuclear spins using only microwave pulses: towards switchable solid-state quantum gates

George Mitrikas, Yiannis Sanakis, Georgios Papavassiliou

We demonstrate the control of the alpha-proton nuclear spin, I=1/2, coupled to the stable radical CH(COOH)2, S=1/2, in a gamma-irradiated malonic acid single crystal using only mic…
