We extend the covariance-matrix description of atom--light quantum interfaces, originally developed for real and effective spin-1/2 atoms, to include "spin alignment" degrees of freedom. This allows accurate modeling of optically-probed…

We propose a powerful extension to combined molecular and spin dynamics that fully captures the coupling between the atomic and spin subsystems via spin-orbit interactions. Its foundation is the inclusion of the local magnetic anisotropies…

We present a joint experiment-theory study on the role of fluorine adatoms in spin and momentum scattering of charge carriers in dilute fluorinated graphene and bilayer graphene. The experimental spin-flip and momentum scattering rates and…

We investigate the inelastic spin-flip rate for electrons in a quantum dot due to their contact hyperfine interaction with lattice nuclei. In contrast to other works, we obtain a spin-phonon coupling term from this interaction by taking…

We investigate spin dynamics in antiferromagnetic (AF) molecular rings at finite temperature in the presence of spin-phonon (s-p) interaction. We derive a general expression for the spin susceptibility in the weak s-p coupling limit and…

The coupling between electronic spins and lattice vibrations is fundamental for driving relaxation in magnetic materials. The debate over the nature of spin-phonon coupling dates back to the 40's, but the role of spin-spin, spin-orbit and…

We study theoretically the phonon-induced relaxation and decoherence of spin states of two electrons in a lateral double quantum dot in a SiGe/Si/SiGe heterostructure. We consider two types of singlet-triplet spin qubits and calculate their…

We investigate the magnetic properties of a range of low-dimensional ferromagnets using a combination of first-principles calculations and atomistic spin dynamics simulations. This approach allows us to evaluate the ground state and finite…

We propose a new universal mechanism that makes it possible to drive an individual atomic spin using a spin polarized scanning tunnel microscope (STM) with an oscillating electric signal. We show that the combination of the distance…

We study the relaxation of the exciton spin (longitudinal relaxation time $T_{1}$) in single asymmetrical quantum dots due to an interplay of the short--range exchange interaction and acoustic phonon deformation. The calculated relaxation…

We employ the method of the theory of open quantum systems to analyze spin relaxation and decoherence in semiconductors in the presence of a magnetic field. We derive a set of Bloch equations for electron spin with a fully microscopic…

We study the spin-phonon relaxation rate of both Kramers and non-Kramers molecular magnets in strongly diluted samples at low temperature. Using the "rotational" contribution to the spin-phonon Hamiltonian, universal formulae for the…

Nuclear spins owe their long-lived magnetic states to their excellent isolation from the environment. At the same time, a finite degree of interaction with their surroundings is necessary for reading and writing the spin state. Therefore,…

Molecular vibrations are increasingly seen as a key factor for spin dynamics in single-ion magnets and molecular spin qubits. Herein we show how an inexpensive combination of molecular dynamics calculations and a crystal field analysis can…

The possibility of transporting spin information over long distances in graphene, owing to its small intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the absence of hyperfine interaction, has led to intense research into spintronic applications.…

Special arrangements of atoms with more than one atom per unit cell, including honeycomb or kagome (woven bamboo mat) lattices, can host propagating excitations with non-trivial topology as defined by their evolution along closed paths in…

Paramagnetic molecules can show long spin-coherence times, which make them good candidates as quantum bits. Reducing the efficiency of the spin-phonon interaction is the primary challenge towards achieving long coherence times over a wide…

Electron spin decoherence caused by elastic spin-phonon processes is investigated comprehensively in a zero-dimensional environment. Specifically, a theoretical treatment is developed for the processes associated with the fluctuations in…

Although silicon is a promising material for quantum computation, the degeneracy of the conduction band minima (valleys) must be lifted with a splitting sufficient to ensure formation of well-defined and long-lived spin qubits. Here we…

We present a generally applicable parameter-free first-principles method to determine electronic spin relaxation times and apply it to the technologically important group-IV materials silicon, diamond and graphite. We concentrate on the…
