Extensive efforts have been expended in developing hybrid quantum systems to overcome the short coherence time of superconducting circuits by introducing the naturally long-lived spin degree of freedom. Among all the possible materials,…
Magnons, the quanta of collective spin excitations in magnetically ordered materials, have distinct properties that make them uniquely appealing for quantum information applications. They can have ultra-small wavelengths down to the…
The superconducting transmon qubit is a leading platform for quantum computing and quantum science. Building large, useful quantum systems based on transmon qubits will require significant improvements in qubit relaxation and coherence…
Collective magnetic excitation modes, magnons, can be coherently coupled to microwave photons in the single excitation limit. This allows for access to quantum properties of magnons and opens up a range of applications in quantum…
We address the theory of magnon-phonon interactions and compute the corresponding quasi-particle and transport lifetimes in magnetic insulators with focus on yttrium iron garnet at intermediate temperatures from anisotropy- and…
For a wide range of nonclassical magnonic states that have been proposed and demonstrated recently, a new time scale besides the magnon lifetime - the magnon dephasing time - becomes important, but this time scale is rarely studied.…
Macroscopic quantum phenomena such as lasers, Bose-Einstein condensates, superfluids, and superconductors are of great importance in foundations and applications of quantum mechanics. In particular, quantum superposition of a large number…
The development of spin qubits for quantum technologies requires their protection from the main source of finite-temperature decoherence: atomic vibrations. Here we eliminate one of the main barriers to the progress in this field by…
Long-lived mechanical oscillators are actively pursued as critical resources for quantum storage, sensing, and transduction. However, achieving deterministic quantum control while limiting mechanical dissipation remains a persistent…
Quantum confinement leads to the emergence of several magnon modes in ultrathin layered magnetic structures. We probe the lifetime of these quantum confined modes in a model system composed of three atomic layers of Co grown on different…
Hybrid systems combining magnons and superconducting quantum circuits have attracted increasing interest in recent years. Magnonic crystals (MCs) are one of the building blocks of room-temperature magnonics and can be used to create devices…
Quantum states of matter---such as solids, magnets and topological phases---typically exhibit collective excitations---phonons, magnons, anyons. These involve the motion of many particles in the system, yet, remarkably, act like a single…
A high-resolution neutron spectroscopic technique is used to measure momentum-resolved magnon lifetimes in the prototypical two- and three-dimensional antiferromagnets Rb2MnF4 and MnF2, over the full Brillouin zone and a wide range of…
Quantum information is typically fragile under measurements and environmental coupling. Remarkably, we find that its lifetime can scale exponentially with system size when the environment is continuously monitored via mid-circuit…
Quantum confinement profoundly affects the properties and interactions of electrons, holes, and excitons in nanomaterials. We apply first-principles calculations to study the effects of extreme quantum confinement on the electronic,…
We use time-resolved thermometry to monitor the decay of nonequilibrium quasiparticles in superconducting Al in the temperature range from $0.3\,$K to $1.2\,$K. The quasiparticle lifetime at higher temperatures ($T>0.7\,$K) agrees well with…
Magnonics has been receiving significant attention in magnetism and spintronics because of its premise for devices using spin current carried by magnons, quanta of spin-wave excitations of a macroscopically ordered magnetic media. Although…
The spin of an electron or a nucleus in a semiconductor [1] naturally implements the unit of quantum information -- the qubit -- while providing a technological link to the established electronics industry [2]. The solid-state environment,…
Hot electrons are theoretically predicted to be long-lived in strongly confined quantum dots, which could play vital roles in quantum dot-based optoelectronics; however, existing photoexcitation transient spectroscopy investigations reveal…
Quantum technology has made tremendous strides over the past two decades with remarkable advances in materials engineering, circuit design and dynamic operation. In particular, the integration of different quantum modules has benefited from…
