• Abstract: We theoretically study the dephasing of an Andreev spin qubit (ASQ) due to electric and magnetic noise. Using a tight-binding model, we calculate the Andreev states formed in a Josephson junction where the link is a semiconductor with strong spin-orbit interaction. As a result of both the spin-orbit interaction and induced superconductivity, the local charge and spin of these states varies as a function of externally controllable parameters: the phase difference between the superconducting leads, an applied magnetic field, and filling of the underlying semiconductor. Concomitantly, coupling to fluctuations of the electric or magnetic environment will vary, which informs the rate of dephasing. We qualitatively predict the dependence of dephasing on the nature of the environment, magnetic field, phase difference between the junction, and filling of the semiconductor. Comparing the simulated electric- and magnetic-noise-induced dephasing rate to experiment suggests that the dominant source of noise is magnetic. Moreover, by appropriately tuning these external parameters, we find sweet-spots at which we predict an enhancement in ASQ coherence times.

  We study the dynamics of a harmonically oscillating charged Brownian particle coupled to an Ohmic heat bath via both position and momentum couplings. The presence of both position and momentum couplings leads to a stronger interaction with the environment, resulting in a faster loss of coherence. In addition, the magnetic field results in the slowing down of the loss of information from the system, irrespective of the nature of coupling between the system and the bath.

• Creation and dynamics of spin fluctuations in a noisy magnetic field [0.0]
  We investigate the spin fluctuations induced in a thermal atomic ensemble by an external fluctuating uniaxial magnetic field. We show that additional spin noise is excited, which dramatically depends on the magnetic noise variance and bandwidth. We develop an analytical perturbative model proving that this spin noise first emerges from the residual optical pumping in the medium.

  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.

• Divergent absorption from spin-orbit interaction in distorted Landau levels [0.0]
  Effect of spin-orbit (and Darwin) interaction on a 2D electron gas subject to a radial, inhomogeneous $1/r$-magnetic field is discussed analytically. Numerical calculation of the absorptive spin-orbit spectra show for an ideal InSb electron gas a behaviour that is dominated by the localized (atomic) part of the distorted Landau levels. We show analytically the emergence of a discrete Rydberg-like band structure that obeys these symmetry properties.

• Long range magnetic dipole-dipole interaction mediated by a superconductor [0.0]
  Quantum computation and simulation requires strong coherent coupling between qubits, which may be spatially separated. Here we theoretically investigate a method for achieving such coupling, based on superconducting nano-structures designed to channel the magnetic flux created by the qubits. We show that such structures could channel the magnetic flux, enhancing the dipole-dipole interaction between spin qubits and changing its scaling with distance, thus potentially paving the way for controllably engineering an interacting spin system.

• Anisotropic electron-nuclear interactions in a rotating quantum spin bath [55.41644538483948]
  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.

• Chemical tuning of spin clock transitions in molecular monomers based on nuclear spin-free Ni(II) [52.259804540075514]
  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.
