Published Jan 1, 2019• 1 citation

Abstract

We computationally characterize the superhyperfine energy structure of 171Yb:YVO4 and compare predicted holeburning spectra and coherence times with experimental data. Our simulation can help optimize coherence times for ensemble-based quantum memories and single-ion qubits.

Numerical Modeling of 171Yb+ Qubit Control

A. E. Iyer, Christine M. Steenkamp, N. E. Payne

We numerically model the interaction between an ytterbium-171 ion and lasers using rate equations. The model is used to analyse hyperfine state population dynamics to optimize efficiency and timescales of quantum control processes used experimentally.

Rare-earth ion crystals are a promising platform for implementing solid-state quantum interfaces, yet there are few combinations of rare-earth and host crystals that simultaneously deliver large optical absorption, narrow inhomogeneous linewidths, and long coherence times. This work investigates the optical and spin properties of ${}^{171}$ Yb ${}^{3+}$ ions in YVO ${}_{4}$ . The observed properties and simple energy-level structure of the ${}^{171}$ Yb ${}^{3+}$ ion show that this material has significant potential for creating efficient quantum interfaces, such as ensemble-based memories, microwave-to-optical transducers, and optically addressable single rare-earth ion spin qubits.Rare-earth ion crystals are a promising platform for implementing solid-state quantum interfaces, yet there are few combinations of rare-earth and host crystals that simultaneously deliver large optical absorption, narrow inhomogeneous linewidths, and long coherence times.
