Area of Science:

  • Quantum optics and photonics
  • Materials science and nanotechnology
  • Solid-state physics

Background:

  • Nanostructured systems combining optical and spin transitions are key for quantum technologies.
  • Rare-earth (RE) ion-doped nanoparticles offer long-lived optical and spin quantum states.
  • Defects in nanoparticles currently limit coherence lifetimes, hindering quantum applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To improve the coherence lifetimes of rare-earth ion-doped nanoparticles for quantum applications.
  • To investigate the effect of a novel post-treatment process on nanoparticle properties.
  • To enable the development of scalable single-ion-based quantum processors.

Main Methods:

  • Post-treatment of nanoparticles involving multistep high-temperature annealing.
  • High-power microwave oxygen plasma processing of nanoparticles.
  • Characterization of single crystalline Eu3+:Y2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) with 100 nm diameter.

Main Results:

  • Achieved bulk-like inhomogeneous line widths (Γinh) and population lifetimes (T1).
  • Extended coherence lifetime (T2) by up to a factor of 5.
  • Successfully modified oxygen-related point defects using oxygen plasma treatment.

Conclusions:

  • The novel post-treatment process significantly enhances key properties of RE NPs for quantum technologies.
  • Engineered RE NPs show potential for integration into devices like single-photon sources and quantum processors.
  • The applied strategy can benefit a wide range of oxide nanoparticles for diverse applications.
