Coherence Time Extension by Large-Scale Optical Spin Polarization in a Rare-Earth Doped Crystal

Optically addressable spins are actively investigated in quantum communication, processing, and sensing. Optical and spin coherence lifetimes, which determine quantum operation fidelity and storage time, are often limited by spin-spin interactions, which can be decreased by polarizing spins. Spin po...
