Towards Cavity-Enhanced Spectroscopy of Single Europium Ions in Yttria NanocrystalsTimon Eichhorn, •Nicholas Jobbitt, and David Hunger — Karlsruher Institut für Technologie

A promising approach for realizing scalable quantum registers lies in the efficient optical addressing of rare-earth ion spin qubits in a solid state host. We study Eu3+ ions doped into Y2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) as a coherent qubit material and work towards efficient single ion detection by coupling their emission to a high-finesse fiber-based Fabry-Pérot microcavity. A beneficial ratio of the narrow homogeneous line to the inhomogeneous broadening of the ion ensemble at temperatures below 10 K makes it possible to spectrally address and readout single ions. The coherent control of the single ion 5D0 - 7F0 transition then permits optically driven single qubit operations on the Europium nuclear spin states. A Rydberg-blockade mechanism between ions within the same nanocrystal permits the implementation of a two-qubit CNOT gate to entangle spin qubits and perform quantum logic operations. We observed fluorescence signals from small ensembles of Europium ions at cryogenic temperatures and measured cavity-enhanced optical lifetimes of half the free-space lifetime resulting in effective Purcell-factors of one. Considering the low branching ratio into the desired transition this amounts to a two-level Purcell-factor of 100. We will report on the progress towards single ion readout and control.
