• Abstract summary: We unveil the underlying charge cycle of group IV-vacancy (G4V) centres. We exploit it to demonstrate highly efficient initialisation of the desired negative charge state of single SnV centres. We also all-optically probe the coherence of the ground state spins by means of coherent population trapping and find a spin dephasing time of 5$mu$s.

• Abstract: Quantum information processing (QIP) with solid state spin qubits strongly depends on the efficient initialisation of the qubit's desired charge state. While the negatively charged tin-vacancy ($\text{SnV}^{-}$) centre in diamond has emerged as an excellent platform for realising QIP protocols due to long spin coherence times at liquid helium temperature and lifetime limited optical transitions, its usefulness is severely limited by termination of the fluorescence under resonant excitation [1,2,3]. Here, we unveil the underlying charge cycle of group IV-vacancy (G4V) centres and exploit it to demonstrate highly efficient initialisation of the desired negative charge state of single SnV centres while preserving long term stable optical resonances. We furthermore all-optically probe the coherence of the ground state spins by means of coherent population trapping and find a spin dephasing time of 5$\mu$s. Additionally, we demonstrate proof-of-principle single shot spin state readout without the necessity of a magnetic field aligned to the symmetry axis of the defect.

  We demonstrate the use of deep-ultraviolet (DUV) radiation to dynamically neutralize nitrogen- (NV) and silicon-vacancy (SiV) centers. We first examine the conversion between the neutral and negatively charged NV states by correlating the variation of their respective spectra. We then observe the time dynamics of bleaching and recharging of negatively charged SiV$-$ centers and observe an 80% reduction in SiV$-$ photoluminescence within a single 100-$mu$s DUV pulse.

  We present a protocol for the scalable and targeted fabrication of single divacancies in 4H-SiC using a high-resolution focused helium ion beam. By measuring the ionization rate for different polytypes of divacancies, we found that the divacancies within stacking faults are more robust against resonant excitation. These findings highlight the immense potential of SiC divacancies for on-chip quantum photonics and the construction of efficient spin-to-photon interfaces.

  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.

Our work liberates a previously inaccessible degree of freedom of the NV nuclear spin, unlocking new approaches to quantum control and rotation sensing.
