Rare-earth doped crystals have long coherence times and the potential to provide quantum interfaces between microwave and optical photons. Such applications benefit from a high cooperativity between the spin ensemble and a microwave cavity…
We examine the parameter accuracy that can be achieved by advanced ground-based detectors for binary inspiralling black holes and neutron stars. We use the 2.5 PN spinning waveforms of Arun et al. (2009). Our main result is that the errors…
Williams and Kramer [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 64}, 104506 (2001)] have recently argued against the existence of staggered magnetic moments residing on several lattice sites around Zn impurities in YBCO superconductors. This claim, which is in line…
Radiofrequency-driven resonant spin rotators are routinely used as standard instruments in polarization experiments in particle and nuclear physics. Maintaining the continuous exact parametric spin-resonance condition of the equality of the…
We claim that any approach neglecting the spin-orbit coupling and the orbital magnetism is not physically adequate for 3d oxides, including NiO, and that in reaching "excellent agreement" in a Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 126406 (2004) paper too…
The realization of spin-based logical gates crucially depends on magnetically-coupled spin qubits. Thus, understanding decoherence when spin qubits are in close proximity will become a roadblock to overcome. Herein, we provide a general…
A well-known connection between the magnetic susceptibility and the effective exchange parameter is analyzed. It is shown that all current computational schemes use a long-wave approximation which is suitable only for localized moments…
We contest the interpretation by Gavilano et al. (Phys.Rev.Lett. 90 (2003) 167202) of violation of the Curie law behavior of the paramagnetic susceptibility at low temperatures by means of the quenching of the V4+-ion moment. These results…

Quantum decoherence is the key mechanism determining whether quantum effects can manifest in quantum computation and transport, and mastering decoherence is central to designing and operating functional quantum devices. Here, we present a…
