Well controlled and highly stable magnetic fields are desired for a wide range of applications in physical research, including quantum metrology, sensing, information processing, and simulation. Here we introduce a low-cost hybrid assembly of rare-earth magnets and magnetic field coils to generate a field strength of $simeq,10.9,$mT with a spatial variation of less than 10$^{-6}$ within a diameter of spherical volume of $150,$um. We characterise its tuneability and stability performance using a single Mg$^{+}$ atom confined in a radio-frequency surface-electrode trap under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The strength of the field can be tuned with a relative precision of $leq 2,times,10^{-5}$ and we find a passive temporal stability of our setup of better than $1.0,times,10^{-4}$ over the course of one hour. Slow drifts on time scales of a few minutes are actively stabilised by adjusting electric currents in the magnetic field coils. In this way, we observe coherence times of electronic superposition states of greater than six seconds using a first-order field insensitive (clock) transition. In a first application, we demonstrate sensing of magnetic fields with amplitudes of $geq0.2,$uT oscillating at $simeq 2pi,times,60,$MHz. Our approach can be implemented in compact and robust applications with strict power and load requirements.

We describe the construction of a fast field cycling device capable of sweeping a 4-order-of-magnitude range of magnetic fields, from ~1mT to 7T, in under 700ms. Central to this system is a high-speed sample shuttling mechanism between a superconduct
ing magnet and a magnetic shield, with the capability to access arbitrary fields in between with high resolution. Our instrument serves as a versatile platform to harness the inherent dichotomy of spin dynamics on offer at low and high fields - in particular, the low anisotropy, fast spin manipulation, and rapid entanglement growth at low field as well as the long spin lifetimes, spin specific control, and efficient inductive measurement possible at high fields. Exploiting these complementary capabilities in a single device open up applications in a host of problems in quantum control, sensing, and information storage, besides in nuclear hypepolarization, relaxometry and imaging. In particular, in this paper, we focus on the ability of the device to enable low-field hyperpolarization of 13C nuclei in diamond via optically pumped electronic spins associated with Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) defect centers.
We implement arbitrary maps between pure states in the 16-dimensional Hilbert space associated with the ground electronic manifold of Cs. This is accomplished by driving atoms with phase modulated rf and {mu}w fields, using modulation waveforms found
via numerical optimization and designed to work robustly in the presence of imperfections. We evaluate the performance of a sample of randomly chosen state maps by randomized benchmarking, obtaining an average fidelity >99%. Our protocol advances state-of-the-art quantum control and has immediate applications in quantum metrology and tomography.
Ultracold atoms in optical lattices are an important platform for quantum information science, lending itself naturally to quantum simulation of many-body physics and providing a possible path towards a scalable quantum computer. To realize its full
potential, atoms at individual lattice sites must be accessible to quantum control and measurement. This challenge has so far been met with a combination of high-resolution microscopes and resonance addressing that have enabled both site-resolved imaging and spin-flips. Here we show that methods borrowed from the field of inhomogeneous control can greatly increase the performance of resonance addressing in optical lattices, allowing us to target arbitrary single-qubit gates on desired sites, with minimal crosstalk to neighboring sites and greatly improved robustness against uncertainty in the lattice position. We further demonstrate the simultaneous implementation of different gates at adjacent sites with a single global control waveform. Coherence is verified through two-pulse Ramsey interrogation, and randomized benchmarking is used to measure an average gate fidelity of ~95%. Our control-based approach to reduce crosstalk and increase robustness is broadly applicable in optical lattices irrespective of geometry, and may be useful also on other platforms for quantum information processing, such as ion traps and nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond.
A time orbiting potential trap confines neutral atoms in a rotating magnetic field. The rotation of the field can be useful for precision measurements, since it can average out some systematic effects. However, the field is more difficult to characte
rize than a static field, and it makes light applied to the atoms have a time-varying optical polarization relative to the quantization axis. These problems can be overcome using stroboscopic techniques, where either a radio-frequency field or a laser is applied in pulses that are synchronized to the rotating field. Using these methods, the magnetic field can be characterized with a precision of 10 mG and light can be applied with a polarization error of $5times 10^{-5}$.
Optimal control theory is a powerful tool for solving control problems in quantum mechanics, ranging from the control of chemical reactions to the implementation of gates in a quantum computer. Gradient-based optimization methods are able to find hig
h fidelity controls, but require considerable numerical effort and often yield highly complex solutions. We propose here to employ a two-stage optimization scheme to significantly speed up convergence and achieve simpler controls. The control is initially parametrized using only a few free parameters, such that optimization in this pruned search space can be performed with a simplex method. The result, considered now simply as an arbitrary function on a time grid, is the starting point for further optimization with a gradient-based method that can quickly converge to high fidelities. We illustrate the success of this hybrid technique by optimizing a holonomic phasegate for two superconducting transmon qubits coupled with a shared transmission line resonator, showing that a combination of Nelder-Mead simplex and Krotovs method yields considerably better results than either one of the two methods alone.
