• Abstract: Atom-like quantum systems in solids have been proposed as a compact alternative for atomic clocks, but realizing the potential of solid-state technology will requires an architecture design which overcomes traditional limitations such as magnetic and temperature-induced systematics. Here, we propose a solution to this problem: a `solid-state spin clock' that hybridizes a microwave resonator with a magnetic-field-insensitive spin transition within the ground state of the diamond nitrogen-vacancy center. Detailed numerical and analytical modeling of this `polariton-stabilized' spin clock (PSSC) indicates a potential fractional frequency instability below $10^{-13}$ at 1 second measurement time, assuming present-day experimental parameters. This stability would represent a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art in miniaturized atomic vapor clocks.

We demonstrate optical nuclear spin polarization and rapid quantum control of nuclear spins in a diamond physically rotating at $1,$kHz, faster than the nuclear spin coherence time. Our work liberates a previously inaccessible degree of freedom of the NV nuclear spin, unlocking new approaches to quantum control and rotation sensing.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.

  Localized electronic and nuclear spin qubits in the solid state constitute a promising platform for storage and manipulation of quantum information. We propose and analyze a scheme that employs a parity measurement in a decoherence free subspace to enable fast and robust entanglement generation. We find that high-fidelity entanglement at cryogenic and even ambient temperatures is feasible with realistic parameters, and show that the entangled pair can be subsequently leveraged for deterministic controlled-NOT operations.

• Heisenberg-limited noisy atomic clock using a hybrid coherent and squeezed states protocol [0.0]
  We propose a hybrid quantum-classical atomic clock protocol where the interrogation of an ensemble of uncorrelated atoms in a spin-coherent state is used to feedback one (or more) spin-squeezed atomic ensembles toward their optimal phase sensitivity point. This protocol overcomes the stability of a single Ramsey clock and it reaches a Heisenberg-limited stability while avoiding non-destructive measurements.
