- Abstract: In Heisenberg models with exchange anisotropy, transverse spin components are
not conserved and can decay not only by transport, but also by dephasing. Here
we utilize ultracold atoms to simulate the dynamics of 1D Heisenberg spin
chains, and observe fast, local spin decay controlled by the anisotropy.
Additionally, we directly observe an effective magnetic field created by
superexchange which causes an inhomogeneous decay mechanism due to variations
of lattice depth between chains, as well as dephasing within each chain due to
the twofold reduction of the effective magnetic field at the edges of the
chains and due to fluctuations of the effective magnetic field in the presence
of mobile holes. The latter is a new coupling mechanism between holes and
magnons. All these dephasing mechanisms, corroborated by extensive numerical
simulations, have not been observed before with ultracold atoms and illustrate
basic properties of the underlying Hubbard model.

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.

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.
