项目摘要

Entanglement is one of the most profound concepts to emerge from quantum mechanics, and a phenomenon whose implementation in real materials requires exceptional control over state preparation, coherence, coupling and measurement. The collaborators have already begun to address these individual challenges using the complementary advantages of both electron and nuclear spin degrees of freedom in a diverse range of materials, with notable successes including the coherent storage of the electron spin state in the nuclear spin to achieve coherence times of several seconds, and the true entanglement of an electron and nuclear spin with high fidelity. In this proposal, we will bring together these individual components, exploiting the transient nature of the electron spin in systems such as optically-excited molecules and silicon-based devices, in order to mediate entanglement between multiple nuclear spins. In addition to providing a key component of emerging quantum technologies within the solid state, this will lead to a new understanding of the mechanisms and correlations behind decoherence of electron and nuclear spins states, under different environments and processes.The key idea in this proposal is to use the transient electron spins in certain materials and devices, not only to understand and overcome spin decoherence mechanisms, but also to mediate the entanglement of multiple nuclear spins. Through experiment, density functional theory and modeling of open quantum systems, we will address long-standing questions behind spin decoherence in various condensed matter systems as well as new emerging questions such as the evolution and destruction of entangled states. We will address further technologically relevant questions such as the effect of interfaces on spin coherence in semiconductor devices, as well as the effect of removal or addition of an electron spin (by optical, or electrical means) on the coherent state of coupled nuclear spins. Six graduate students and postdocs will participate in a stimulating international collaboration between Oxford, Heriot-Watt and Princeton, supported by the fluid exchange of young researchers between the participating institutions, as well as interactions with their collaborators around the world. The project partners will continue to host undergraduate students in their laboratory on summer projects connecting with this research proposal. The Oxford and Heriot-Watt teams will continue to participate in enhancing the public understanding of science by, for example, presenting work at the Royal Society Summer Exhibit and hosting local high-school students in their laboratories. The Oxford investigators have experience producing a series of award-winning video podcasts and the collaboration will build on this experience to produce a joint series of podcasts, aimed a general audience, describing the basic science behind this proposal and the exciting applications which it promises.The grant will support and strengthen an existing and highly successful collaboration between researchers at Princeton, Oxford and Heriot-Watt. The groups have a strong track record performing the experiments and developing the techniques which motivate and enable the research proposed here. Together, the investigators bring together a range of expertise, including magnetic resonance (ESR, ENDOR), quantum information theory, density functional theory, semiconductor physics and organic chemistry. The collaborative nature of this proposed activity allows the focus to be on fundamental physical questions spanning a diverse range of physical quantum spin systems, increasing the impact of the experiments and range of beneficiaries in the scientific community. Finally, the complementary instrumentation across the three institutions provides the necessary set of experimental tools required for this challenging experimental program.
纠缠是从量子力学中出现的最深刻的概念之一,并且是一种在真实的材料中实现的现象,其需要对状态准备、相干性、耦合和测量进行特殊的控制。合作者已经开始利用电子和核自旋自由度在各种材料中的互补优势来解决这些挑战,取得了显着的成功,包括在核自旋中相干存储电子自旋状态以实现几秒钟的相干时间,以及电子和核自旋的真正纠缠高保真度。在这个提议中,我们将把这些单独的组件放在一起,利用光学激发分子和硅基器件等系统中电子自旋的瞬态性质,以调解多个核自旋之间的纠缠。除了为固态内的新兴量子技术提供一个关键组成部分外,这将导致对不同环境和过程下电子和核自旋态退相干背后的机制和相关性的新理解。这一提议的关键思想是在某些材料和器件中使用瞬态电子自旋,不仅可以理解和克服自旋退相干机制,而且还可以调节多个核自旋的纠缠。通过实验,密度泛函理论和开放量子系统的建模,我们将解决各种凝聚态系统中自旋退相干背后的长期问题以及新出现的问题,如纠缠态的演化和破坏。我们将解决进一步的技术相关的问题,如在半导体器件中的自旋相干性的界面的影响,以及去除或添加的电子自旋(通过光学或电气手段)耦合核自旋的相干态的影响。六名研究生和博士后将参加牛津大学,赫瑞瓦特和普林斯顿大学之间的激励国际合作,由参与机构之间的年轻研究人员的流体交换支持,以及与世界各地的合作者的互动。项目合作伙伴将继续在他们的实验室举办与本研究提案相关的暑期项目的本科生。牛津大学和赫瑞瓦特团队将继续参与提高公众对科学的理解,例如,在皇家学会夏季展览会上展示工作,并在实验室接待当地高中生。牛津大学的研究人员有制作一系列获奖视频播客的经验,此次合作将在此经验的基础上制作一系列针对普通观众的联合播客,描述这一提议背后的基础科学及其令人兴奋的应用前景。这笔赠款将支持和加强普林斯顿大学、牛津大学和赫瑞瓦特大学研究人员之间现有的非常成功的合作。这些小组在执行实验和开发技术方面有着良好的记录,这些技术激励并实现了这里提出的研究。研究人员汇集了一系列专业知识,包括磁共振(ESR,ENDOR),量子信息理论,密度泛函理论,半导体物理和有机化学。这一拟议活动的协作性质使重点能够放在跨越各种物理量子自旋系统的基本物理问题上,从而增加实验的影响和科学界受益者的范围。最后,这三个机构的互补仪器为这个具有挑战性的实验项目提供了必要的实验工具。
