• Abstract summary: We show that a quantum measurement back action can be efficiently exploited to tune the spin relaxation of localized electrons. In optical pump-probe experiments, powerful probe pulses suppress the spin relaxation of electrons on Si donors in an InGaAs epilayer due to the quantum Zeno effect. An increase of the probe power leads to a speed up of the spin relaxation for electrons in InGaAs quantum dots due to the quantum anti-Zeno effect.

• Abstract: Quantum measurement back action is fundamentally unavoidable when manipulating electron spins. Here we demonstrate that this back action can be efficiently exploited to tune the spin relaxation of localized electrons induced by the hyperfine interaction. In optical pump-probe experiments, powerful probe pulses suppress the spin relaxation of electrons on Si donors in an InGaAs epilayer due to the quantum Zeno effect. By contrast, an increase of the probe power leads to a speed up of the spin relaxation for electrons in InGaAs quantum dots due to the quantum anti-Zeno effect. The microscopic description shows that the transition between the two regimes occurs when the spin dephasing time is comparable to the probe pulse repetition period.

Through a spin-ratchet polarization transfer mechanism, we show boosts in spin injection rates by over two orders of magnitude.

  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. 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.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.

  Quantum coherence between electronic states of a photoionized molecule and the resulting process of ultrafast electron-hole migration has been put forward as a possible quantum mechanism of charge-directed reactivity governing the photoionization-induced molecular decomposition. Here, we use x-rays both to create and to directly probe quantum coherence in the photoionized amino acid glycine. Delayed x-ray pulses track the induced coherence through resonant x-ray absorption that induces Auger decay and by the photoelectron emission from sequential double photoionization.
