We study a nonuniversal contribution to the dephasing rate of conduction electrons due to local vibrational modes. The inelastic scattering rate is strongly influenced by multiphonon excitations, exhibiting oscillatory behaviour. For higher frequencies, it saturates to a finite, coupling dependent value. In the strong coupling limit, the phonon is almost completely softened, and the inelastic cross section reaches its maximal value. This represents a magnetic field insensitive contribution to the dephasing time in mesoscopic systems, in addition to magnetic impurities.

Silicon carbide is a very promising platform for quantum applications because of extraordinary spin and optical properties of point defects in this technologically-friendly material. These properties are strongly influenced by crystal vibrations, but
the exact relationship between them and the behavior of spin qubits is not fully investigated. We uncover the local vibrational modes of the Si vacancy spin qubits in as-grown 4H-SiC. We apply the resonant microwave field to isolate the contribution from one particular type of defects, the so-called V2 center, and observe the zero-phonon line together with seven equally-separated phonon replicas. Furthermore, we present first-principles calculations of the photoluminescence lineshape, which are in excellent agreement with our experimental data. To boost up the calculation accuracy and decrease the computation time, we extract the force constants using machine learning algorithms. This allows us to identify dominant modes in the lattice vibrations coupled to an excited electron during optical emission in the Si vacancy. The resonance phonon energy of 36 meV and the Debye-Waller factor of about 6% are obtained. We establish experimentally that the activation energy of the optically-induced spin polarization is given by the local vibrational energy. Our findings give insight into the coupling of electronic states to vibrational modes in SiC spin qubits, which is essential to predict their spin, optical, mechanical and thermal properties. The approach described can be applied to a large variety of spin defects with spectrally overlapped contributions in SiC as well as in other 3D and 2D materials.
Topology is a central notion in the classification of band insulators and characterization of entangled many-body quantum states. In some cases, it manifests as quantized observables such as quantum Hall conductance. However, being inherently a globa
l property depending on the entirety of the system, its direct measurement has remained elusive to local experimental probes in many cases. Here, we demonstrate that some topological band indices can be probed by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. Specifically, for the paradigmatic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger and quadrupolar insulator models, we show that non-trivial band topology leads to distinct scattering intensity at particular momentum and energy. Our result establishes an incisive bulk probe for the measurement of band topology.
Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments under applied magnetic field at low temperatures show detailed low lying magnetic excitations in the so called tridiminshed iron icosahedron magnetic molecule. The magnetic molecule consists of nine iron
Fe$^{3+}$ ($s = 5/2$) and three phosphorous atoms that are situated on the twelve vertices of a nearly perfect icosahedron. The three phosphorous atoms form a plane that separates the iron cluster into two weakly coupled three- and six-ion fragments, {Fe$_3$} and {Fe$_6$}, respectively. The magnetic field INS results exhibit an $S=1/2$ ground state expected from a perfect equilateral triangle of the {Fe$_3$} triad with a powder averaged $g$-value $=2.00$. Two sets of triplet excitations whose temperature and magnetic field dependence indicate an $S=0$ ground state with two non-degenerate $S=1$ states are attributed to the {Fe$_6$} fragment. The splitting may result from a finite coupling between the two fragments, single-ion anisotropy, antisymmetric exchange couplings, or from magnetic frustration of its triangular building blocks.
The low-lying magnetic excitations in the dimer of single-molecule magnets (Mn4)2 are studied by inelastic neutron scattering as a function of hydrostatic pressure. The anisotropy parameters D and B04, which describe each Mn4 subunit, are essentially
pressure independent, while the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling J between the two Mn4 subunits strongly depends on pressure, with an increase of 42% at 17 kbar. Additional pressure dependent powder X-ray measurements allow a structural interpretation of the findings.
We study various properties of the vibrational normal modes for Coulomb-interacting particles in two-dimensional irregular confinement using numerical simulations. By analyzing the participation ratio and spectral statistics, we characterize the vibr
ational modes for Coulomb clusters as localized, quasi-localized and delocalized. We also study a novel correlation function to understand the spatial structure of these different kinds of modes and subsequently extract the associated characteristic length scales. We further demonstrate that, at any given temperature, particles exhibiting larger displacement over a time interval comparable to the structural relaxation time, are strongly correlated with the low-frequency quasi-localized modes of the inherent structure corresponding to the initial configuration. Establishing this correlation for Coulomb clusters paves the path to identify the particular feature of the initial configuration that determines the previously observed heterogeneous dynamics of the particles at low temperatures in these systems.
