• Abstract: The long-lived and optically addressable spin states of silicon vacancies ($\mathrm{V}_\mathrm{Si}$) in 4H-SiC make them promising qubits for quantum communication and sensing. These color centers can be created in both the hexagonal (V1) and in the cubic (V2) local crystallographic environments of the 4H-SiC host. While the spin of the V2 center can be efficiently manipulated by optically detected magnetic resonance at room temperature, spin control of the V1 centers above cryogenic temperatures has so far remained elusive. Here, we show that the dynamic strain of surface acoustic waves can overcome this limitation and efficiently excite magnetic resonances of V1 centers up to room temperature. Based on the width and temperature dependence of the acoustically induced spin resonances of the V1 centers, we attribute them to transitions between spin sublevels in the excited state. The acoustic spin control of both kinds of $\mathrm{V}_\mathrm{Si}$ centers in their excited states opens new ways for applications in quantum technologies based on spin-optomechanics.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  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 experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
