Hybrid quantum registers consisting of different types of qubits offer a range of advantages as well as challenges. The main challenge is that some types of qubits react only slowly to external control fields, thus considerably slowing down…
We investigate the generation of non-classical states of spins coupled to a common cavity by means of a collective driving of the spins. We propose a control strategy using specifically designed series of short coherent and squeezing…
Dynamical decoupling is a coherent control technique where the intrinsic and extrinsic couplings of a quantum system are effectively averaged out by application of specially designed driving fields (refocusing pulse sequences). This entails…

Spin dynamics of a cluster of coupled spins 1/2 can be manipulated to store and process a large amount of information. A new type of dynamic response makes it possible to excite coherent long-living signals, which can be used for exchanging…
