We report on Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy measurements of the Boltzmann polarization of the nuclear spins in copper by detecting the frequency shift of a soft cantilever. We use the time-dependent solution of the Bloch equations to…

Non-equilibrium dynamics of many-body systems is important in many branches of science, such as condensed matter, quantum chemistry, and ultracold atoms. Here we report the experimental observation of a phase transition of the quantum…

The effect of thermal fluctuations on spin-transfer switching has been studied for a broad range of time scales (sub-ns to seconds) in a model system, a uniaxial thin film nanomagnet. The nanomagnet is incorporated into a spin-valve…

Nuclear spins in certain solids couple weakly to their environment, making them attractive candidates for quantum information processing and inertial sensing. When coupled to the spin of an optically-active electron, nuclear spins can be…

Magnetic resonance imaging, based on the manipulation and detection of nuclear spins, is a powerful imaging technique that typically operates on the scale of millimeters to microns. Using magnetic resonance force microscopy, we have…

At the spin transition point of $\nu=2/3$ quantum Hall states, nuclear spins in a two-dimensional electron gas are polarized by an electric current. Using GaAs/AlGaAs double-quantum-well samples, we first observed the spatial diffusion of…

The control of nuclear spins in quantum dots is essential to explore their many-body dynamics and exploit their prospects for quantum information processing. We present a unique combination of dynamic nuclear spin polarization and…

We use nominally forbidden electron-nuclear spin transitions in nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to demonstrate coherent manipulation of a nuclear spin ensemble using microwave fields at room temperature. We show that employing an…

Nuclear spins are an important source of dephasing for electron spin qubits in GaAs quantum dots. Most studies of their dynamics have focused on the relatively slow longitudinal polarization. We show, based on a semiclassical model and…

Algorithmic cooling is a novel technique to generate ensembles of highly polarized spins, which could significantly improve the signal strength in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It combines reversible (entropy-preserving)…

We observe multiple stable states of nuclear polarization in a double quantum dot under conditions of electron spin resonance. The stable states can be understood within an elaborated theoretical rate equation model for the polarization in…

Polarization transfers are crucial building blocks in magnetic resonance experiments, i.e., they can be used to polarize insensitive nuclei and correlate nuclear spins in multidimensional NMR spectroscopy. The polarization can be…

The starting point of all NMR experiments is a spin polarization which develops when we place the sample in static magnetic field $B_0$. There are excess of spins aligned along $B_0$ (spin up with lower energy) than spins aligned opposite…

Metastability is a ubiquitous phenomenon in non-equilibrium physics and classical stochastic dynamics.It arises when the system dynamics settles in long-lived states before eventually decaying to true equilibria. Remarkably, it has been…

We develop a method to compute thermally-mediated transition rates between the ground state and long-lived isomers in nuclei. We also establish criteria delimiting a thermalization temperature above which a nucleus may be considered a…

We investigate the effect of nuclear spins on the phase shift and polarisation rotation of photons scattered off a quantum dot-cavity system. We show that as the phase shift depends strongly on the resonance energy of an electronic…

We exploit spin noise spectroscopy (SNS) to directly observe build-up of dynamic nuclear polarization and relaxation of a perturbed nuclear spin-system to its equilibrium state in a single-shot experiment. The SNS experiments were performed…

We propose to take advantage of the weak coupling of ground-state helium-3 nuclear spin to its environment to produce long-lived macroscopic quantum states, nuclear spin squeezed states, in a gas cell at room temperature. To perform a…

Nuclear spin ensembles in diamond are promising candidates for quantum sensing applications, including rotation sensing. Here we perform a characterization of the optically detected nuclear-spin transitions associated with the 14N nuclear…

We study spin relaxation and diffusion in an electron-spin ensemble of nitrogen impurities in diamond at low temperature (0.25-1.2 K) and polarizing magnetic field (80-300 mT). Measurements exploit mode- and temperature-dependent coupling…
