Abstract: Rare-earth ion doped crystals have proven to be solid platforms for implementing quantum memories. Their potential use for integrated photonics with large multiplexing capability and unprecedented coherence times is at the core of their attractiveness. The best performances of these ions are however usually obtained when subject to a dc magnetic field, but consequences of such fields on the quantum memory protocols have only received little attention. In this article, we focus on the effect of a dc bias magnetic field on the population manipulation of non-Kramers ions with nuclear quadrupole states, both in the spin and optical domains, by developing a simple theoretical model. We apply this model to explain experimental observations in a ${}^{151}$Eu:Y$_2$SiO$_5$ crystal, and highlight specific consequences on the AFC spin-wave protocol. The developed analysis should allow to predict optimal magnetic field configurations for various protocols.

Impact of background field localization on vacuum polarization effects [0.0]
localization of the background field impacts nonlinear quantum vacuum signatures probed by photons in purely magnetic, electric and crossed fields. We study the scaling of conventional nonlinear QED signatures, such as probe-photon polarization flip and probe-photon induced electron-positron pair production.

Wavevector-resolved polarization entanglement from radiative cascades [27.84599956781646]
We show that there exists an interplay between photon polarization and emission wavevector, strongly affecting quantum correlations when emitters are embedded in micro-cavities. Our results, backed by theoretical modelling, yield a brand-new understanding of cascaded emission for various quantum emitters.

Polarization vs. magnetic field: competing eigenbases in laser-driven atoms [0.0]
In the absence of a magnetic field, the atom can get trapped in a dark state, which inhibits fluorescence. A canonical way to avoid optical pumping to dark states is to apply a magnetic field at an angle with respect to the polarization of the exciting light. This generates a competition of eigenbases which manifests as a crossover between two regimes dominated either by the laser or the magnetic field.

All-Optical Nuclear Quantum Sensing using Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond [52.77024349608834]
Microwave or radio-frequency driving poses a significant limitation for miniaturization, energy-efficiency and non-invasiveness of quantum sensors. We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing. Our results pave the way for highly compact quantum sensors to be employed for magnetometry or gyroscopy applications.

Sensing of magnetic field effects in radical-pair reactions using a quantum sensor [50.591267188664666]
Magnetic field effects (MFE) in certain chemical reactions have been well established in the last five decades. We employ elaborate and realistic models of radical-pairs, considering its coupling to the local spin environment and the sensor. For two model systems, we derive signals of MFE detectable even in the weak coupling regime between radical-pair and NV quantum sensor.

Visualizing spinon Fermi surfaces with time-dependent spectroscopy [62.997667081978825]
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.
