• Abstract: We characterize the magnetic properties for thulium ion energy levels in the Y$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$ (Tm:YGG) lattice with the goal to improve decoherence and reduce line-width broadening caused by local host spins and crystal imperfections. More precisely, we measure hyperfine tensors for the lowest level of the, $^3$H$_6$, and excited, $^3$H$_4$, states using a combination of spectral hole burning, absorption spectroscopy, and optically detected nuclear magnetic resonance. By rotating the sample through a series of angles with an applied external magnetic field, we measure and analyze the orientation dependence of the Tm$^{3+}$ ion's spin-Hamiltonian. Using this spin-Hamiltonian, we propose a set of orientations to improve material properties that are important for light-matter interaction and quantum information applications. Our results yield several important external field directions: some to extend optical coherence times, another to improve spin inhomogeneous broadening, and yet another that maximizes mixing of the spin states for specific sets of ions, which allows improving optical pumping and creation of lambda systems in this material.

  One promising scheme relies on the Larmor precession of a spin in a transverse magnetic field. We probe the origin of heavy-hole $g$-factor anisotropy with respect to the in-plane magnetic field direction. Results show that post-growth control of the hole $g$-factor can be used to improve spin-photon cluster state generation.

We also study the influence of the quadrupole interaction on the hyperfine splitting in the zero and low magnetic field range.

  Laser-written waveguides in diamond promote NV$-$ creation and improve their coupling to light but, at the same time, induce strain in the crystal. We probe NV$-$ spin states experimentally with the commonly used continuous-wave zero-field optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) By fitting the model results to the experimentally collected ODMR data, we determine the strain tensor components at different positions, thus determining the strain profile across the waveguide.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

For cool active stars, we reveal a good agreement between the equivalent widths (EWs) of H$alpha$ line derived from the spectra with two resolutions.
