Plenary Talk 7 - Quantum-Based Photonic Sensors for Pressure, Vacuum, and Temperature Measurements: A Vison of the Future with NIST on a Chip

Jay H. Hendricks, Zeeshan Ahmed, D. Barker +6 more

The NIST on a Chip (NOAC) program's central idea is the idea that measurement technology can be developed to enable metrology to be performed "outside the National Metrology Institute" by the creation of deployed and often miniaturized standards. These standards, when based on fundamental properties of nature, are directly tracible to the international system of units known as the SI. NIST is also developing quantum-based standards for SI traceability known as QSI, or Quantum based International System of units. Specifically, this paper will cover NIST efforts in the area of thermodynamic metrology to develop NOAC standards for pressure, vacuum and temperature measurements.

Zeeman and hyperfine interactions of a single Er3+167 ion in Si

Jiliang Yang, Wenda Fan, Yangbo Zhang +10 more

Er-doped Si is a promising candidate for quantum information applications due to its telecom wavelength optical transition and its compatibility with Si nanofabrication technologies. Recent spectroscopic studies based on photoluminescence excitation have shown multiple well-defined lattice sites that Er occupies in Si. Here we report a measurement of the Zeeman and hyperfine tensors of a single $^{167}\mathrm{Er}^{3+}$ ion in Si. All the obtained tensors are highly anisotropic with the largest value principal axes aligning in nearly the same direction, and the trace of the lowest crystal field level $\mathbf{g}$-tensor is $17.78\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.40$. The results indicate that this specific Er site is likely to be a distorted cubic site that exhibits monoclinic (${\mathrm{C}}_{1}$) symmetry. Finally, zero first-order-Zeeman fields are identified for this site and could be used to reduce decoherence of hyperfine spin states in future experiments.

All the obtained tensors are highly anisotropic with the largest value principal axes aligning in nearly the same direction, and the trace of the lowest crystal field level g-tensor is 17.78±0.40. The results indicate that this specific Er site is likely to be a distorted cubic site that exhibits monoclinic (C1) symmetry.
