• Abstract: Silicon-vacancy and tin-vacancy defects in diamond are of interest as alternative qubits to the NV center due to their superior optical properties. While the availability of optical transitions in these defects is one of their assets, high-fidelity optical coherent control has not been demonstrated. Here, we design novel optical control schemes tailored to these defects. We evaluate the performance of arbitrary single-qubit rotations of the electron spin qubit both in the absence and presence of an external magnetic field, by taking into account both coherent and incoherent errors. We find that rotations in excess of $98.0\%$ ($T=4$~K) and $99.71\%$ ($T=6$~K) can be achieved for Si-V and Sn-V respectively in the presence of realistic relaxation and leakage errors.

  Solid-state spin defects, such as color centers in diamond, are among the most promising candidates for scalable and integrated quantum technologies. We show that leveraging an ultra-high strained silicon-vacancy center inside a nanodiamond allows us to coherently and efficiently control its electron spin, while mitigating phonon-induced dephasing at liquid helium temperature. Our work paves the way for future integration of quantum network registers into conventional, well-established photonics and hybrid quantum communication systems.

  Tin-vacancy center (SnV) in diamond is a promising spin-photon interface with desirable optical and spin properties at 1.7 K. We introduce a new platform that overcomes these challenges - SnV centers in uniformly strained thin diamond membranes. The presence of crystal strain suppresses temperature dependent dephasing processes, leading to a considerable improvement of the coherence time up to 223 $mu$s at 4 K.

  Optically-active spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are promising quantum systems for the design of two-dimensional quantum sensing units. We first demonstrate that the electron spin resonance frequencies of boron vacancy centres (V$_textB-$) can be detected optically in the limit of few-atomic-layer thick hBN flakes. We then analyze the variations of the electronic spin properties of V$_textB-$ centres with the hBN thickness.

  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.
