• Abstract: We characterize the phase memory time of phosphorus donor electron spins in lightly-doped natural silicon at high magnetic field (8.58 T) in the dark and under low-power optical excitation. The spin echo decays are dominated by spectral diffusion due to the presence of the 4.7% abundant spin-1/2 silicon-29 nuclei. At 4.2 K, the spectral diffusion time (T$_{SD}$) measured in the dark is $124 \pm 7$ $\mu$s, a factor of 2 smaller than that measured at low magnetic fields (0.35 T). Using a tunable laser we also measured the echo decay as the wavelength of the optical excitation is swept across the band edge from 1050 nm to 1090 nm. Above-bandgap optical excitation is seen to increase the spectral diffusion time of the donor electron spin to $201 \pm 11$ $\mu$s. The physical mechanism underlying both the decrease of T$_{SD}$ at high field and the subsequent increase under optical excitation remains unclear.

  We show a phenomenon of broadband optical absorption by the NV centers starting in the emission wavelength and reaching up to 1000 nm. The lower level of the absorbing transition could be the energetically lower NV singlet state. This opens a new detection wavelength regime with coherent laser signal detection for high-sensitivity NV magnetometry.

• Room-temperature optical spin polarization of an electron spin qudit in a vanadyl -- free base porphyrin dimer [35.34500698545813]
  Photoexcited organic chromophores appended to molecular qubits can serve as a source of spin initialization or multi-level qudit generation for quantum information applications. Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) experiments carried out at both 85 K and room temperature reveal the formation of a long-lived spin-polarized quartet state. Exploiting this phenomenon affords the possibility of using photoinduced triplet states in porphyrins for quantum information as a resource to polarize and magnetically couple molecular electronic or nuclear spin qubits and qudits.

We identify relevant decoherence mechanisms including instantaneous diffusion arising from resonant spins and temperature-dependent spectral diffusion from impurity electron and nuclear spins.
