Quantum bit or qubit is a two-level system, which builds the foundation for quantum computation, simulation, communication and sensing. Quantum states of higher dimension, i.e., qutrits (D = 3) and especially qudits (D = 4 or higher), offer significant advantages. Particularly, they can provide noise-resistant quantum cryptography, simplify quantum logic and improve quantum metrology. Flying and solid-state qudits have been implemented on the basis of photonic chips and superconducting circuits, respectively. However, there is still a lack of room-temperature qudits with long coherence time and high spectral resolution. The silicon vacancy centers in silicon carbide (SiC) with spin S = 3/2 are quite promising in this respect, but until now they were treated as a canonical qubit system. Here, we apply a two-frequency protocol to excite and image multiple qudit modes in a SiC spin ensemble under ambient conditions. Strikingly, their spectral width is about one order of magnitude narrower than the inhomogeneous broadening of the corresponding spin resonance. By applying Ramsey interferometry to these spin qudits, we achieve a spectral selectivity of 600 kHz and a spectral resolution of 30 kHz. As a practical consequence, we demonstrate absolute DC magnetometry insensitive to thermal noise and strain fluctuations.

We suggest a new method for quantum optical control with nanoscale resolution. Our method allows for coherent far-field manipulation of individual quantum systems with spatial selectivity that is not limited by the wavelength of radiation and can, in
principle, approach a few nanometers. The selectivity is enabled by the nonlinear atomic response, under the conditions of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency, to a control beam with intensity vanishing at a certain location. Practical performance of this technique and its potential applications to quantum information science with cold atoms, ions, and solid-state qubits are discussed.
We explore how to encode more than a qubit in vanadyl porphyrin molecules hosting a electronic spin 1/2 coupled to a nuclear spin 7/2. The spin Hamiltonian and its parameters, as well as the spin dynamics, have been determined via a combination of el
ectron paramagnetic resonance, heat capacity, magnetization and on-chip magnetic spectroscopy experiments performed on single crystals. We find low temperature spin coherence times of micro-seconds and spin relaxation times longer than a second. For sufficiently strong magnetic fields (B larger than 0.1 T, corresponding to resonance frequencies of 9 to 10 GHz) these properties make vanadyl porphyrin molecules suitable qubit realizations. The presence of multiple equispaced nuclear spin levels then merely provides 8 alternatives to define the 0 and 1 basis states. For lower magnetic fields (below 0.1 T), and lower frequencies (smaller than 2 GHz), we find spectroscopic signatures of a sizeable electronuclear entanglement. This effect generates a larger set of allowed transitions between different electronuclear spin states and removes their degeneracies. Under these conditions, we show that each molecule fulfills the conditions to act as a universal 4-qubit processor or, equivalently, as a d = 16 qudit. These findings widen the catalogue of chemically designed systems able to implement non-trivial quantum functionalities, such as quantum simulations and, especially, quantum error correction at the molecular level.
Coherent population trapping is demonstrated in single nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond under optical excitation. For sufficient excitation power, the fluorescence intensity drops almost to the background level when the laser modulation frequency
matches the 2.88 GHz splitting of the ground states. The results are well described theoretically by a four-level model, allowing the relative transition strengths to be determined for individual centers. The results show that all-optical control of single spins is possible in diamond.
Silicon-vacancy (SiV) centers in diamond are promising systems for quantum information applications due to their bright single photon emission and optically accessible spin states. Furthermore, SiV centers in low-strain diamond are insensitive to per
tubations of the dielectric environment, i.e. they show very weak spectral diffusion. This property renders ensembles of SiV centers interesting for sensing applications. We here report on photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy on an SiV ensemble in a low strain, CVD-grown high quality diamond layer, where we measure the fine structure with high resolution and obtain the linewidths and splittings of the SiV centers. We investigate the temperature dependence of the width and position of the fine structure peaks. Our measurements reveal linewidths of about 10 GHz as compared to a lifetime limited width on the order of 0.1 GHz. This difference arises from the inhomogeneous broadening of the transitions caused by residual strain. To overcome inhomogeneous broadening we use spectral hole burning spectroscopy which enables us to measure a nearly lifetime limited homogeneous linewidth of 279 MHz. Furthermore, we demonstrate evidence of coherent interaction in the system by driving a $Lambda$-scheme. Additional measurements on single emitters created by ion implantation confirm the homogeneous linewidths seen in the spectral hole burning experiments and relate the ground state splitting to the decoherence rate.
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.
