Acoustic spectral hole-burning in a two-level system ensemble

Gustav Andersson (340896), Andre Bilobran (20072967), Marco Scigliuzzo (20072970) +3 more

Microscopic two-level system (TLS) defects at dielectric surfaces and interfaces are among the dominant sources of loss in superconducting quantum circuits, and their properties have been extensively probed using superconducting resonators and qubits. We report on spectroscopy of TLSs coupling to the strain field in a surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator. The narrow free spectral range of the resonator allows for two-tone spectroscopy where a strong pump is applied at one resonance, while a weak signal is used to probe a different mode. We map the spectral hole burnt by the pump tone as a function of frequency and extract parameters of the TLS ensemble. Our results suggest that detuned acoustic pumping can be used to enhance the coherence of superconducting devices by saturating TLSs.

Four-spin cross relaxation in a hybrid quantum device

Cheng Ma, Zhiling Wang, Yukai Wu +4 more

Understanding the spin relaxation in superconducting quantum circuit and solid-state spin hybrid systems is of great importance especially for quantum storage purposes. We have studied the longitudinal relaxation for electron spins of substitutional nitrogen (P1) centers in a hybrid quantum device containing a diamond and a superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator. From a series of pump-probe experiments we conclude that the dominated spin relaxation mechanism is a cross-relaxation process induced by a four-spin interaction (four-spin cross relaxation) among different hyperfine split spin transitions. Some features of the four-spin process are discussed based on a set of rate equations. This work provides interesting perspectives in understanding the coherence properties of the hyperfine split spin ensembles in a hybrid quantum system.
