• Abstract: Spin of a donor bound electron in silicon has been shown to be a very coherent qubit system but lacks a coherent optical interface. There does, however, exist a donor bound exciton transition that can be excited optically but decays dominantly via an Auger recombination producing an electrical signal. This provides an opto-electrical pathway for spin readout. Scaling this readout to single-spin level will require interfacing the spins with silicon photonics for efficient guiding of photons, which in turn will require moving to silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates. Here we demonstrate first ensemble opto-electronic measurements of donor bound excitons in SOI material, including isotopically purified 28-Si device layers. The experiments show pronounced shifts in the resonance wavelengths and broadenings of the transition linewidths compared to the bulk experiments.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.
