Entanglement of Spin-Pair Qubits with Intrinsic Dephasing Times Exceeding a Minute

Hans P. Bartling, M. H. Abobeih, Benjamin Pingault +7 more

Understanding and protecting the coherence of individual quantum systems is a central challenge in quantum science and technology.Over the past decades, a rich variety of methods to extend coherence have been developed.A complementary approach is to look for naturally occurring systems that are inherently protected against decoherence.Here, we show that pairs of identical nuclear spins in solids form intrinsically long-lived qubits.We study three carbon-13 pairs in diamond and realize high-fidelity measurements of their quantum states using a single nitrogen-vacancy center in their vicinity.We then reveal that the spin pairs are robust to external perturbations due to a combination of three phenomena: a decoherence-free subspace, a clock transition, and a variant on motional narrowing.The resulting inhomogeneous dephasing time is T Ã 2 ¼ 1.9ð3Þ min, the longest reported for individually controlled qubits.Finally, we develop complete control and realize an entangled state between two spin pairs through projective parity measurements.These long-lived qubits are abundantly present in diamond and other solids and provide new opportunities for ancilla-enhanced quantum sensing and for robust memory qubits for quantum networks.

Silicon T centre hyperfine structure and memory protection schemes

Nicholas Brunelle, Joshua Kanaganayagam, Mehdi Keshavarz +11 more

Combining the long-coherence of spin qubits and the capability to transmit information and entanglement through photons, spin-photon interfaces (SPIs) are a promising platform for networked quantum computation and long-distance quantum communication. SPIs that possess local `memory' qubits in addition to the optically coupled `communication' qubit can improve remote entanglement fidelities through brokered entanglement schemes and entanglement purification. In these schemes, it is critical to protect the memory qubit from decoherence during entanglement operations on the communications qubit. Silicon, a platform with mature microelectronic and nanophotonic fabrication, is host to the T centre, an SPI with emission in the telecommunications O-band that directly integrates with silicon nanophotonics. Cavity-coupled T centres are a platform for brokered entanglement distribution in silicon photonic circuits and over long-distance optical fibre links. The T centre's electron and nuclear spin qubits are an intrinsic register of communication and memory qubits respectively, with anisotropic hyperfine coupling. In this work we determine the T centre's hydrogen hyperfine coupling tensor. We also introduce schemes to protect against dephasing or eliminate relaxation of the T centre's hydrogen memory qubit during optical excitation. These results address a key challenge for practical T centre quantum networks.

Generation of quantum coherence in two-qubit cavity system: qubit-dipole coupling and decoherence effects

A-B A Mohamed, H. A. Hessian, Hichem Eleuch

Abstract The intrinsic decoherence effect for two qubits interacting with a coherent field, under the dipole-dipole interaction and two-photon resonance, is analytically described. We investigate numerically the population inversion and the quantum coherence. The results show that the generated mixture entropy and the entanglement negativity, can be enhanced and protected by the dipole-dipole interaction and by reducing the initial coherent field intensity. In particular, we find that, the collapses and revivals of the population inversion present high sensitivity to these physical parameters. The nonlinearity of the two-photon processes leads to a generation of a strong two-qubit entanglement. This generated entanglement depends on the initial coherent field intensity, the dipole-dipole interaction and the intrinsic decoherence.
