Coupling a spin to non-ohmic environments such as a superconductor can lead to new behavior with interesting dynamics. Thus far, the dynamics of emerging states like Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states at individual atoms or molecules have mostly been investigated through tunneling rates [1,2]. Here, instead, we show a measurement that uses the synchronization of the state occupation with a frequency-dependent drive voltage to measure the dynamics of the tunneling through YSR states themselves. This technique relies on stochastic resonance which was previously used to measure spin dynamics [3]. We use a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to measure the dynamics of YSR states of Fe atoms adsorbed on the oxygen-reconstructed surface of V(100) and find YSR state lifetimes in the picosecond range. This work provides a new level of insights into the dynamics of YSR states and can lead to a better understanding of relaxation mechanisms in spin-superconductor structures.
