Extending coherence in a diode-embedded quantum register

ORAL

Abstract

Solid-state spin defects in silicon carbide (SiC) demonstrate a near-infrared spin-photon interface [1], long coherence times [2], and a mature material platform with wafer-scale commercial compatibility. Specifically, recent results have demonstrated single-shot readout and extended dephasing and decoherence times [3] with isolated, single neutral divacancy (VV0) defects in isotopically-engineered SiC. Here, we demonstrate record dephasing and Hahn-echo times of proximal nuclear spin qubits by mitigating dominant noise sources, highlighting the benefits of isotopic growth and device integration [4]. Such nuclear spins could provide robust quantum registers to the optically-active electron spin qubit. Finally, we also demonstrate narrowed optical lines of VV0 at the lifetime limit in this same device. Our results enable new pathways for highly coherent qubits for quantum information processing and sensing by mitigating both electronic and magnetic noise.
