Optimizing a Dynamical Decoupling Protocol for Solid-State Electronic Spin Ensembles in Diamond

Kavli Affiliate: Viatcheslav V. Dobrovitski | First 5 Authors: Demitry Farfurnik, Andrey Jarmola, Linh M. Pham, Zhi-Hui Wang, Viatcheslav V. Dobrovitski | Summary: We demonstrate significant improvements of the spin coherence time of a dense ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond through optimized dynamical decoupling (DD). Cooling the sample down to $77$ K suppresses […]

A Technique for Detection of PeV Neutrinos Using a Phased Radio Array

Kavli Affiliate: Abigail Vieregg | First 5 Authors: A. G. Vieregg, K. Bechtol, A. Romero-Wolf, , | Summary: The detection of high energy neutrinos ($10^{15}-10^{20}$ eV or $1-10^{5}$ PeV) is an important step toward understanding the most energetic cosmic accelerators and would enable tests of fundamental physics at energy scales that cannot easily be achieved […]

A compact heat transfer model based on an enhanced Fourier law for analysis of frequency-domain thermoreflectance experiments

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Ashok T. Ramu, John E. Bowers, , , | Summary: A recently developed enhanced Fourier law is applied to the problem of extracting thermal properties of materials from frequency-domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) experiments. The heat transfer model comprises contributions from two phonon channels; one a high-heat-capacity diffuse […]

Quantum dot nonlinearity through cavity-enhanced feedback with a charge memory

Kavli Affiliate: Larry Coldren | First 5 Authors: Morten P. Bakker, Thomas Ruytenberg, Wolfgang Loffler, Ajit V. Barve, Larry Coldren | Summary: In an oxide apertured quantum dot (QD) micropillar cavity-QED system, we found strong QD hysteresis effects and lineshape modifications even at very low intensities corresponding to less than 0.001 intracavity photons. We attribute […]
