Patent number: 8913900Abstract: A novel method and apparatus for long distance quantum communication in realistic, lossy photonic channels is disclosed. The method uses single emitters of light as intermediate nodes in the channel. One electronic spin and one nuclear spin coupled via the contact hyperfine interaction in each emitter, provide quantum memory and enable active error purification. It is shown that the fixed, minimal physical resources associated with these two degrees of freedom suffice to correct arbitrary errors, making our protocol robust to all realistic sources of decoherence. The method is particularly well suited for implementation using recently-developed solid-state nano-photonic devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2006Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: Mikhail Lukin, Lilian I.

Patent number: 8547090Abstract: A method is disclosed for increasing the sensitivity of a solid state electronic spin based magnetometer that makes use of individual electronic spins or ensembles of electronic spins in a solid-state lattice, for example NV centers in a diamond lattice. The electronic spins may be configured to undergo a Zeeman shift in energy level when photons of light are applied to the electronic spins followed by pulses of an RF field that is substantially transverse to the magnetic field being detected. The method may include coherently controlling the electronic spins by applying to the electronic spins a sequence of RF pulses that dynamically decouple the electronic spins from mutual spin-spin interactions and from interactions with the lattice. The sequence of RF pulses may be a Hahn spin-echo sequence, a Can Purcell Meiboom Gill sequence, or a MREV8 pulse sequence, by way of example.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2008Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: Mikhail D.
