Abstract
Coherent quantum control at high temperatures is important for expanding the quantum world and is useful for applying quantum technologies to realistic environments. Quantum control of spins in diamond has been demonstrated near 1000 K, with the spins polarized and read out at room temperature and controlled at elevated temperatures by rapid heating and cooling. Further increase of the working temperature is challenging due to fast spin relaxation in comparison with the heating and cooling rates. Here we significantly improve the heating and cooling rates by using reduced graphene oxide as the laser absorber and heat drain and hence realize coherent quantum operation at up to 1400 K, which is higher than the Curie temperatures of all known materials. This work facilitates the use of diamond sensors to study a wide range of magnetic effects in the high-temperature regime, such as thermoremanent magnetism and magnetic shape memory effects.
高温下的相干量子控制对于拓展量子世界非常重要,也有助于将量子技术应用到现实环境中。金刚石中自旋的量子控制已在接近 1000 K 的温度下得到证实,自旋在室温下被极化和读出,并在高温下通过快速加热和冷却得到控制。与加热和冷却速度相比,由于自旋弛豫速度快,进一步提高工作温度具有挑战性。在这里,我们通过使用还原氧化石墨烯作为激光吸收体和散热器,大大提高了加热和冷却速度,从而实现了高达 1400 K 的相干量子运行,这比所有已知材料的居里温度都要高。这项工作有助于利用金刚石传感器研究高温环境下的各种磁效应,如热永磁和磁形状记忆效应。
