We compare disentanglement and decoherence rates within two-spin and three-spin entangled systems subjected to all possible combinations of local and collective pure dephasing noise combinations. In all cases, the bipartite entanglement…

We use the nuclear spin coherence of $^{31}$P donors in $^{28}$Si to determine flip-flop rates of donor electron spins. Isotopically purified $^{28}$Si crystals minimize the number of $^{29}$Si flip-flops, and measurements at 1.7 K suppress…

Experiments involving phase coherent dynamics of networks of spins, such as echo experiments, will only work if decoherence can be suppressed. We show here, by analyzing the particular example of a crystalline network of Fe8 molecules, that…
Spin incommensurability has been recently experimentally discovered in the hole-doped Ni-oxide chain compound $\rm Y_{2-x}Ca_x Ba Ni O_5$ (G. Xu {\it al.}, Science {\bf 289}, 419 (2000)). Here a two orbital model for this material is…
