• Abstract summary: Solid-state electron spin qubits rely on control sequences of population inversion to enhance sensitivity and improve device coherence. We show that the limits of population inversion and potential impacts on applications like quantum sensing have not been assessed quantitatively. We identify a potentially realizable regime of nanosecond control duration for high-fidelity multipulse sequences.

• Abstract: Solid-state electron spin qubits, like the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond, rely on control sequences of population inversion to enhance sensitivity and improve device coherence. But even for this paradigmatic system, the fundamental limits of population inversion and potential impacts on applications like quantum sensing have not been assessed quantitatively. Here, we perform high accuracy simulations beyond the rotating wave approximation, including explicit unitary simulation of neighboring nuclear spins. Using quantum optimal control, we identify analytical pulses for the control of a qubit subspace within the spin-1 ground state and quantify the relationship between pulse complexity, control duration, and fidelity. We find exponentially increasing amplitude and bandwidth requirements with reduced control duration and further quantify the emergence of non-Markovian effects for multipulse sequences using sub-nanosecond population inversion. From this, we determine that the reduced fidelity and non-Markovianity is due to coherent interactions of the electron spin with the nuclear spin environment. Ultimately, we identify a potentially realizable regime of nanosecond control duration for high-fidelity multipulse sequences. These results provide key insights into the fundamental limits of quantum information processing using electron spin defects in diamond.

  A critical system near quantum phase transitions was predicted to be useful for improvement of metrological precision. We show how to encode the signal to some physical quantity of a critical system using critical behaviors in the Jaynes-Cummings model. We demonstrate such a metrological protocol in a superconducting circuit, where an Xmon qubit, interacting with a resonator, is used as a probe for estimating the amplitude of a microwave field.

  A simple Carr-Purcell Meiboom-Gill (CPMG)-like pulse sequence can be leveraged to enhance the coherence of a large ensemble of spin qubits. We implement the periodic drive on an ensemble of dense nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. We find that rotation offsets deviating from the ideal pi-pulse in the CPMG sequence play a critical role in preserving coherence even at nominally zero rotation offset.

  Quantum networks play an indispensable role in quantum information tasks such as secure communications, enhanced quantum sensing, and distributed computing. Among the most mature and promising platforms for quantum networking are nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond and other color centers in solids. One of the challenges in using these systems for networking applications is to controllably manipulate entanglement between the electron and the nuclear spin register.
