• Abstract: The microscopic electric environment surrounding a spin defect in a wide-bandgap semiconductor plays a determining role in the spin coherence and charge stability of a given qubit and has an equally important role in defining the electrical properties of the host material. Here, we use electrometry of quantum defects embedded within a diamond to observe stable, micron-scale space charge distributions formed from trapped photogenerated charges. These space charges grow under optical illumination in the presence of an applied electric field, eventually screening the applied electric field entirely over a spatial extent of tens of microns due to charge carrier drift and capture. Our measurements suggest that these space charge fields originate from widely-dispersed spatial configurations of nitrogen charges. Our results have important consequences for electrometry and photoelectric detection using qubits in wide-bandgap semiconductors.

We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

  We introduce a new technique to model and eliminate dipole moment interactions limiting the performance of sensors employing levitated objects. As a demonstration, this is applied to the search for unknown charges of a magnitude much below that of an electron. As a by-product of the technique, the electromagnetic properties of the levitated objects can also be measured on an individual basis.
