• Abstract: Silicon carbide (SiC) hosts many interesting defects that can potentially serve as qubits for a range of advanced quantum technologies. Some of them have very interesting properties, making them potentially useful, e.g. as interfaces between stationary and flying qubits. Here we present a detailed overview of the relevant properties of the spins in silicon vacancies of the 6H-SiC polytype. This includes the temperature-dependent photoluminescence, optically detected magnetic resonance, and the relaxation times of the longitudinal and transverse components of the spins, during free precession as well as under the influence of different refocusing schemes.

  Paramagnetic defects in diamond and hexagonal boron nitride possess a unique combination of spin and optical properties that make them solid-state qubits. Despite the coherence of these spin qubits being critically limited by spin-phonon relaxation, a full understanding of this process is not yet available. We demonstrate that low-frequency two-phonon modulations of the zero-field splitting are responsible for spin relaxation and decoherence.

  A type of silicon vacancy qubits in 6H-SiC possesses an unusual inverted fine structure. This results in the directional emission of light along the hexagonal crystallographic axis, making photon extraction more efficient. Our experimental and theoretical approaches provide a deep insight into the optical and spin properties of atomic-scale qubits in SiC.

The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
