• Authors: Mark Dikopoltsev, Avraham Berrebi, Uriel Levy, Or Katz
• Abstract summary: We study the decoherence of warm cesium spins dominated by spin rotation-interaction during binary collisions with N$$ molecules. We find that the excess decoherence at higher magnetic fields originates from an asynchronous Larmor precession. This work extends the widely-used regime of Spin-Exchange Relaxation Free (SERF), which provides protection from decoherence by random spin-conservative processes.

• Abstract: Interactions of electron spins with rotational degrees of freedom during collisions or with external fields are fundamental processes that limit the coherence time of spin gases. We experimentally study the decoherence of warm cesium spins dominated by spin rotation-interaction during binary collisions with N$_2$ molecules or by absorption of near-resonant light. We report an order of magnitude suppression of the spin decoherence rate by either of those processes at low magnetic fields. We find that the excess decoherence at higher magnetic fields originates from an asynchronous Larmor precession, which is a mechanism that universally affects all alkali atoms, and can yet be suppressed at low magnetic-fields. This work extends the widely-used regime of Spin-Exchange Relaxation Free (SERF), which provides protection from decoherence by random spin-conservative processes, now for random processes which do not conserve but rather destruct electron spins.

  This article demonstrates that the hyperfine coupling, which consists of Fermi contact and dipolar interactions, can mediate the application of spin-orbit torques acting on nuclear spins. The reactions to the equilibrium and nonequilibrium components of the spin density is a torque on the nucleus with field-like and damping-like components. This nuclear spin-orbit torque is a step toward stabilizing and controlling nuclear magnetic momenta, in magnitude and direction, and realizing nuclear spintronics.

  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 demonstrate optical nuclear spin polarization and rapid quantum control of nuclear spins in a diamond physically rotating at $1,$kHz, faster than the nuclear spin coherence time. Our work liberates a previously inaccessible degree of freedom of the NV nuclear spin, unlocking new approaches to quantum control and rotation sensing.

We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.
