Abstract: Rare earth ions (REI) in solid materials are among the leading systems for quantum technology applications. However, developing practical REI quantum devices with long-lived coherent states remains challenging due to great growth difficulties of high-quality REI materials and a lack of comprehensive understanding of REI's decoherence mechanisms. Here we realize a record optical coherence time of 421.5 $\pm$ 10.5 $\mu$s for the $^7$F$_0\rightarrow^5$D$_0$ transition and more than 30 hours lifetime for the $^7$F$_0$ hyperfine spin states in Eu$^{3+}$:Y$_2$O$_3$ optical ceramics. We report the elimination of two-level-system induced optical decoherence in short-range ordered crystals. Meanwhile, a new decoherence mechanism caused by new kinds of perturbing magnetic centers is identified below 1.5 K. We further demonstrate the coherent light storage over 5 $\mu$s by using the atomic frequency comb protocol. These results open up prospects for the realization of practical quantum memories and large scale quantum communications with REI optical ceramics.

Coherent optical-microwave interface for manipulation of low-field electronic clock transitions in $^{171}$Yb$^{3+}$:Y$_2$SiO$_5$ [0.0]
coherent interaction of solid-state spins with both optical and microwave fields provides a platform for quantum technologies. We use a loop-gap microwave resonator to coherently drive optical and microwave clock transitions over a long crystal. We provide new insights into the spin dephasing mechanism at very low fields, showing that superhyperfine-induced collapse of the Hahn echo signal plays an important role at low fields.
