• Abstract: Anisotropic open shell 4f ions have magnetic moments that can be read and written as atomic bits. If it comes to qbits where the phase of the wave function has to be written, controlled and read, it is of advantage to rely on more than one atom that carries the quantum information of the system because states with different susceptibilities may be addressed. Such systems are realized for pairs of lanthanides in single molecule magnets, where four pseudospin states are found and mixed in quantum tunneling processes. For the case of endohedral fullerenes like Dy2S@C82 or Tb2ScN@C80 the quantum tunneling of the magnetisation is imprinted in the magnetisation lifetimes at sub-Kelvin temperatures. A Hamiltonian that includes quantum tunneling of the magnetisation predicts the lifting of the zero field ground state degeneracy and non-linear coupling to magnetic fields in such systems.

  Nuclear spins in certain solids couple weakly to their environment, making them attractive candidates for quantum information processing and inertial 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.
