The silicon-vacancy (SiV-) color center in diamond has attracted attention because of its unique optical properties. It exhibits spectral stability and indistinguishability that facilitate efficient generation of photons capable of demonstrating quantum interference. Here we show optical initialization and readout of electronic spin in a single SiV- center with a spin relaxation time of T1=2.4±...

Spin chains have been proposed as quantum wires in many quantum-information processing architectures. Coherent transmission of quantum information in spin chains over short distances is enabled by their internal dynamics, which drives the transport of single-spin excitations in perfectly polarized chains. Given the practical challenge of preparing the chain in a pure state, we propose to use a ...

Using the spin-hole coherent state representation, and taking the long range antiferromagnetic Néel order as the background of the spin degree part, we have studied the magnetic behavior of the t-J model in the usual slave boson and slave fermion treatment of the single occupation constraint, and shown that we can qualitatively explain the anomalous magnetic and transport properties of the norm...

Using both the fermionic-like and the bosonic-like properties of the Pauli spin operators we discuss the Bose description of the Pauli spin operators firstly proposed by Shigefumi Naka, and derive another new bosonic representation of Pauli operators. The eigenvector of σ− in the bosonic representation is a nonlinear coherent state with the eigenvalues being the Grassmann numbers.

The role of nuclear spins in decoherence and dephasing of a solid state phase qubit is investigated. Both effects of static spin environment and spin polarization fluctuations in time are considered on the basis of non-Markovian Langevin-Bloch equations. We find conditions when coupling of a phase qubit to a bath of nuclear spins does not impair coherent evolution of the qubit.

We apply the semiclassical spin coherent state method for the density of states by Pletyukhov et al. (2002) in the weak spin-orbit coupling limit and recover the modulation factor in the semiclassical trace formula found by Bolte and Keppeler (1998, 1999).

Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of the photoexcited, metastable triplet state of the oxygen-vacancy center in silicon reveals that the lifetime of the m(s)=±1 sublevels differs significantly from that of the m(s)=0 state. We exploit this significant difference in decay rates to the ground singlet state to achieve nearly ~100% electron-spin polarization within the triplet. We...

Abstract We present a spin two-axis-twisting mechanism via coherent population trapping (CPT) based atom–photon interactions. CPT happens and the atoms are trapped in dark state (coherent superposition of two ground states) when states resonantly coupled to common excited state. Close CPT, behave as dark-state spins, which interact with cavity vacuum fields. The otherwise nonexistent interactio...

The tradeoff between information retrieved from a quantum measurement and the disturbance caused on the state of a quantum system is a fundamental concept of quantum mechanics and has received a lot of attention in the literature [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]. Such an issue is studied for both foundations and its enormous relevance in practice, in the r...
