• Title: Quantum sensing via magnetic-noise-protected states in an electronic spin dyad
• Authors: Carlos A. Meriles, Pablo R. Zangara, and Daniela Pagliero
• Abstract summary: We investigate the coherent spin dynamics of a hetero-spin system formed by a spin S=1 featuring a non-zero crystal field. We show that the zero-quantum coherences we create between them can be remarkably long-lived. These spin dyads could be exploited as nanoscale gradiometers for precision magnetometry or as probes for magnetic-noise-free electrometry and thermal sensing.

• Abstract: Extending the coherence lifetime of a qubit is central to the implementation and deployment of quantum technologies, particularly in the solid-state where various noise sources intrinsic to the material host play a limiting role. Here, we theoretically investigate the coherent spin dynamics of a hetero-spin system formed by a spin S=1 featuring a non-zero crystal field and in proximity to a paramagnetic center S'=1/2. We capitalize on the singular energy level structure of the dyad to identify pairs of levels associated to magnetic-field-insensitive transition frequencies, and theoretically show that the zero-quantum coherences we create between them can be remarkably long-lived. Further, we find these coherences are selectively sensitive to 'local' - as opposed to 'global' - field fluctuations, suggesting these spin dyads could be exploited as nanoscale gradiometers for precision magnetometry or as probes for magnetic-noise-free electrometry and thermal sensing.

  We propose the realization of a nanoscale scanning electron paramagnetic resonance sensor using a vortex core in a thin-film disc. The vortex core can be displaced by using external magnetic fields of a few mT, enabling EPR scanning microscopy with large spatial resolution. Vortex nanocavities could also attain strong coupling to individual spin molecular qubits, with potential applications to mediate qubit-qubit interactions.

We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing.

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.

  Hybrid spin-optomechanical quantum systems offer high flexibility, integrability and applicability for quantum science and technology. On-chip surface acoustic waves (SAWs) can efficiently drive spin transitions in the ground states (GSs) of atomic-scale, color centre qubits. We show that strain-induced spin interactions within their optically excited state (ES) can exceed by two orders of magnitude the ones within the GS.
