• Abstract summary: This paper will treat nanoparticle rotational dynamics for spin-embedded nanorotors. We will study how the quantum evolution of all the Euler angles leads to a spin coherence loss upon interference. In particular, we show that by imparting rotation along the direction of the magnetic field, we can stabilise the nanorotor's libration mode.

• Abstract: The rotation of a nanoparticle in a quantum system has many applications, from theory to experiments. This paper will treat nanoparticle rotational dynamics for spin-embedded nanorotors. We will model it as a rigid body that properly treats the rotation in the co-frame of the nanorotor in the presence of external fields. Besides rotation, we will further investigate how to create large spatial superpositions in the inhomogeneous external magnetic field, such as in the case of the Stern-Gerlach apparatus. The spin-embedded nanorotors play a crucial role in creating matter-wave interferometers through their spin and external magnetic field interaction Hamiltonian. We aim to provide a holistic interpretation of the dynamics of three Euler angles, their quantum evolution, and the nanorotor's spatial motion in a Stern-Gerlach-type setup where we will consider one-full-loop interferometry. We will then study how the quantum evolution of all the Euler angles leads to a spin coherence loss upon interference and what manifests the Einstein-de Haas effect in an external magnetic field. In particular, we show that by imparting rotation along the direction of the magnetic field, we can stabilise the nanorotor's libration mode. We will also extend our analysis to a case where the initial state of the libration mode is thermal and discuss the contrast loss due to interference of the nanorotor upon one-loop completion.

  We investigate the role of rotation in a matter-wave interferometer, where we show that imparting angular momentum along the direction of a defect can cause an enhancement in spin contrast. The imparted angular momentum can enhance the spatial superposition by almost a factor of two and possibly average out any potential permanent dipoles in the nanodiamond.

  We discuss the coherent splitting and recombining of a nanoparticles in a mesoscopic Stern-Gerlach interferometer. We calculate the internal decoherence which arises as the displaced impurity excites internal degrees of freedom. We find that for a wide range of masses, forces and temperatures, phonons do not inhibit Stern-Gerlach interferometry with micro-scale objects.

  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.

  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.
