• Abstract summary: Transition metal (TM) defects in silicon carbide have favorable spin coherence properties. We model TM defects that have one active electron with spin 1/2 in the atomic $D$ shell. We find that the spin-orbit coupling leads to additional allowed transitions and a modification of the $g$-tensor.

• Abstract: Transition metal (TM) defects in silicon carbide have favorable spin coherence properties and are suitable as quantum memory for quantum communication. To characterize TM defects as quantum spin-photon interfaces, we model defects that have one active electron with spin 1/2 in the atomic $D$ shell. The spin structure, as well as the magnetic and optical resonance properties of the active electron emerge from the interplay of the crystal potential and spin-orbit coupling and are described by a general model derived using group theory. We find that the spin-orbit coupling leads to additional allowed transitions and a modification of the $g$-tensor. To describe the dependence of the Rabi frequency on the magnitude and direction of the static and driving fields, we derive an effective Hamiltonian. This theoretical description can also be instrumental to perform and optimize spin control in TM defects.

  We chart the spin qubit variability due to the unavoidable atomic-scale roughness of the Si/SiO$$ interface, compiling experiments in 12 devices, and developing theoretical tools. We correlate the effect of roughness with the variability in qubit position, deformation, valley splitting, valley phase, spin-orbit coupling and exchange coupling. These variabilities are found to be bounded and lie within the tolerances for scalable architectures for quantum computing as long as robust control methods are incorporated.

  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.

• Hyperfine-mediated transitions between electronic spin-1/2 levels of transition metal defects in SiC [0.0]
  Transition metal defects in SiC give rise to localized electronic states that can be optically addressed in the telecom range. For spin-1/2 defects, a combination of the defect symmetry and the strong spin-orbit coupling may restrict the allowed spin transitions. We show via analytical and numerical results that the presence of a central nuclear spin can lead to a non-trivial mixing of electronic spin states.

  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.
