We demonstrate a single-atom maser consisting of a semiconductor double quantum dot (DQD) that is embedded in a high quality factor microwave cavity. A finite bias drives the DQD out of equilibrium, resulting in sequential single electron tunneling and masing. We develop a dynamic tuning protocol that allows us to controllably increase the time-averaged repumping rate of the DQD at a fixed level detuning, and quantitatively study the transition through the masing threshold. We further examine the crossover from incoherent to coherent emission by measuring the photon statistics across the masing transition. The observed threshold behavior is in agreement with an existing single atom maser theory when small corrections from lead emission are taken into account.

Single-electron pumps based on isolated impurity atoms have recently been experimentally demonstrated. In these devices the Coulomb potential of an atom creates a localised electron state with a large charging energy and considerable orbital level sp
acings, enabling robust charge capturing processes. In these single-atom pumps, the confinement potential is hardly affected by the periodic driving of the system. This is in contrast to the often used gate-defined quantum dot pumps, for which a strongly time-dependent potential leads to significantly different charge pumping processes. Here we describe the behaviour and the performance of an atomic, single parameter, electron pump. This is done by considering the loading, isolating and unloading of one electron at the time, on a phosphorous atom embedded in a silicon double gate transistor. The most important feature of the atom pump is its very isolated ground state, which can be populated through the fast loading of much higher lying excited states and a subsequent fast relaxation proces. This leads to a substantial increase in pumping accuracy, and is opposed to the adverse role of excited states as observed for quantum dot pumps due to non-adiabatic excitations. The pumping performances are investigated as a function of dopant position, revealing a pumping behaviour robust against the expected variability in atomic position.
Theoretical work has suggested that monolayer MoS2 doped with Mn should behave as a two-dimensional dilute magnetic semiconductor, which would open up possibilities for spintronic applications, device physics, and novel ground states. The magnetic pr
operties on Mn dopants in MoS2 are dependent on the mid-gap impurity states of said dopants as well as the sites of dopant incorporation and dopant concentration. In this work we use STM/STS to characterize multiple impurity types associated with Mn dopants in MoS2, and use ring features that appear in spectral maps due to tip-induced band bending to investigate the nature of the mid-gap impurity states. The doublet nature of the rings and comparison to DFT calculations show that the Mn states exhibit strong spin splitting which can be quantified. We used scanned MOKE experiments to extend these magnetization measurements from atomic scale to mm scales, and detect the spin susceptibility signal which increases with Mn concentration. These experiments show that single Mn atoms in MoS2 function as active unscreened magnetic moments in the TMD monolayer, and can be harnessed for spin physics applications and science.
The quantum coherence and gate fidelity of electron spin qubits in semiconductors is often limited by noise arising from coupling to a bath of nuclear spins. Isotopic enrichment of spin-zero nuclei such as $^{28}$Si has led to spectacular improvement
s of the dephasing time $T_2^*$ which, surprisingly, can extend two orders of magnitude beyond theoretical expectations. Using a single-atom $^{31}$P qubit in enriched $^{28}$Si, we show that the abnormally long $T_2^*$ is due to the controllable freezing of the dynamics of the residual $^{29}$Si nuclei close to the donor. Our conclusions are supported by a nearly parameter-free modeling of the $^{29}$Si nuclear spin dynamics, which reveals the degree of back-action provided by the electron spin as it interacts with the nuclear bath. This study clarifies the limits of ergodic assumptions in analyzing many-body spin-problems under conditions of strong, frequent measurement, and provides novel strategies for maximizing coherence and gate fidelity of spin qubits in semiconductors.
We report high resolution coherent population trapping on a single hole spin in a semiconductor quantum dot. The absorption dip signifying the formation of a dark state exhibits an atomic physics-like dip width of just 10 MHz. We observe fluctuations
in the absolute frequency of the absorption dip, evidence of very slow spin dephasing. We identify this process as charge noise by, first, demonstrating that the hole spin g-factor in this configuration (in-plane magnetic field) is strongly dependent on the vertical electric field, and second, by characterizing the charge noise through its effects on the optical transition frequency. An important conclusion is that charge noise is an important hole spin dephasing process.
We probe local charge fluctuations in a semiconductor via laser spectroscopy on a nearby self-assembled quantum dot. We demonstrate that the quantum dot is sensitive to changes in the local environment at the single charge level. By controlling the c
harge state of localized defects, we are able to infer the distance of the defects from the quantum dot with +-5 nm resolution. The results identify and quantify the main source of charge noise in the commonly-used optical field-effect devices. Based on this understanding we achieve routinely close-totransform-limited quantum dot optical linewidths.
