The study and manipulation of low dipole moment quantum states has been challenging due to their inaccessibility by conventional spectroscopic techniques. Controlling the spin in such states requires unfeasible strong magnetic fields to overcome typical decoherence rates. However, the advent of terahertz technology and its application to magnetic pulses opens up a new scenario. In this article, we focus on an electron-hole pair model to demonstrate that it is possible to control the precession of the spins and to modify the transition rates to different spin states. Enhancing transitions from a bright state to a dark state with different spin means that the latter can be revealed by ordinary spectroscopy. We propose a modification of the standard two-dimensional spectroscopic scheme in which a three pulse sequence is encased in a magnetic pulse. Its role is to drive transitions between a bright and a dark spin state, making the latter susceptible to spectroscopic investigation.

Spectroscopy is an indispensable tool in understanding the structures and dynamics of molecular systems. However computational modelling of spectroscopy is challenging due to the exponential scaling of computational complexity with system sizes unles s drastic approximations are made. Quantum computer could potentially overcome these classically intractable computational tasks, but existing approaches using quantum computers to simulate spectroscopy can only handle isolated and static molecules. In this work we develop a workflow that combines multi-scale modeling and time-dependent variational quantum algorithm to compute the linear spectroscopy of systems interacting with their condensed-phase environment via the relevant time correlation function. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by numerically simulating the UV-Vis absorption spectra of organic semiconductors. We show that our dynamical approach captures several spectral features that are otherwise overlooked by static methods. Our method can be directly used for other linear condensed-phase spectroscopy and could potentially be extended to nonlinear multi-dimensional spectroscopy.
Photoluminescence (PL) intermittency is a ubiquitous phenomenon detrimentally reducing the temporal emission intensity stability of single colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) and the emission quantum yield of their ensembles. Despite efforts for blinking r eduction via chemical engineering of the QD architecture and its environment, blinking still poses barriers to the application of QDs, particularly in single-particle tracking in biology or in single-photon sources. Here, we demonstrate the first deterministic all-optical suppression of quantum dot blinking using a compound technique of visible and mid-infrared (MIR) excitation. We show that moderate-field ultrafast MIR pulses (5.5 $mu$m, 150 fs) can switch the emission from a charged, low quantum yield grey trion state to the bright exciton state in CdSe/CdS core-shell quantum dots resulting in a significant reduction of the QD intensity flicker. Quantum-tunneling simulations suggest that the MIR fields remove the excess charge from trions with reduced emission quantum yield to restore higher brightness exciton emission. Our approach can be integrated with existing single-particle tracking or super-resolution microscopy techniques without any modification to the sample and translates to other emitters presenting charging-induced PL intermittencies, such as single-photon emissive defects in diamond and two-dimensional materials.

We investigate the potential for optical quantum technologies of Pr3+:Y2O3 in the form of monodisperse spherical nanoparticles. We measured optical inhomogeneous lines of 27 GHz, and optical homogeneous linewidths of 108 kHz and 315 kHz in particles of 400 nm and 150 nm average diameters respectively for the 1D2(0)--> 3H4(0) transition at 1.4 K. Furthermore, ground state and 1D2 excited state hyperfine structures in Y2O3 are here for the first time determined by spectral hole burning and modeled by complete Hamiltonian calculations. Ground-state spin transitions have energies of 5.99 MHz and 10.42 MHz for which we demonstrate spin inhomogeneous linewidths of 42 and 45 kHz respectively. Spin T2 up to 880 microseconds was obtained for the +-3/2-->+-5/2 transition at 10.42 MHz, a value which exceeds that of bulk Pr3+ doped crystals so far reported. These promising results confirm nanoscale Pr3+:Y2O3 as a very appealing candidate to integrate quantum devices. In particular, we discuss here the possibility of using this material for realizing spin photon interfaces emitting indistinguishable single photons.
We propose to use fermionic atoms with degenerate ground and excited internal levels ($F_grightarrow F_e$), loaded into the motional ground state of an optical lattice with two atoms per lattice site, to realize dark states with no radiative decay. T he physical mechanism behind the dark states is an interplay of Pauli blocking and multilevel dipolar interactions. The dark states are independent of lattice geometry, can support an extensive number of excitations and can be coherently prepared using a Raman scheme taking advantage of the quantum Zeno effect. These attributes make them appealing for atomic clocks, quantum memories, and quantum information on decoherence free subspaces.
Compressed sensing is a processing method that significantly reduces the number of measurements needed to accurately resolve signals in many fields of science and engineering. We develop a two-dimensional (2D) variant of compressed sensing for multid imensional electronic spectroscopy and apply it to experimental data. For the model system of atomic rubidium vapor, we find that compressed sensing provides significantly better resolution of 2D spectra than a conventional discrete Fourier transform from the same experimental data. We believe that by combining powerful resolution with ease of use, compressed sensing can be a powerful tool for the analysis and interpretation of ultrafast spectroscopy data.
