• Abstract summary: To entangle distant Er$3+$ ions through photonic connections, the emission frequency of individual Er$3+$ in solid-state matrix must be the same. We propose and experimentally demonstrate the Stark tuning of the emission frequency of a single Er$3+$ in a Y$SiO$_5$ crystal by employing electrodes interfaced with a silicon photonic crystal cavity. Our results provide a useful solution for construction of scalable quantum networks based on single Er$3+$ and a universal tool for tuning emission of individual rare-earth ions.

• Abstract: The implementation of scalable quantum networks requires photons at the telecom band and long-lived spin coherence. The single Er$^{3+}$ in solid-state hosts is an important candidate that fulfills these critical requirements simultaneously. However, to entangle distant Er$^{3+}$ ions through photonic connections, the emission frequency of individual Er$^{3+}$ in solid-state matrix must be the same, which is challenging because the emission frequency of Er$^{3+}$ depends on its local environment. Herein, we propose and experimentally demonstrate the Stark tuning of the emission frequency of a single Er$^{3+}$ in a Y$_2$SiO$_5$ crystal by employing electrodes interfaced with a silicon photonic crystal cavity. We obtain a Stark shift of 182.9 $\pm$ 0.8 MHz which is approximately 27 times of the optical emission linewidth, demonstrating the promising applications in tuning the emission frequency of independent Er$^{3+}$ into the same spectral channels. Our results provide a useful solution for construction of scalable quantum networks based on single Er$^{3+}$ and a universal tool for tuning emission of individual rare-earth ions.

  We implant Er$3+$ into CaWO$_4$, a material that combines a non-polar site symmetry, low decoherence from nuclear spins, and is free of background rare earth ions. We observe single-scan optical linewidths of 150 kHz and long-term spectral diffusion of 63 kHz, both close to the Purcell-enhanced radiative linewidth of 21 kHz. This represents a significant step towards the construction of telecom-band quantum repeater networks with single Er$3+$ ions.
