Hybrid quantum systems consisting of a superconducting quantum processor coupled to a quantum memory (QM) offer great potential for quantum computing [1]. For interfacing the two components, a microwave (mw) QM is advantageous, since losses due to frequency transduction can be avoided. A potential platform for mw QMs are rare-earth spin ensembles, due to their hyperfine transitions in the GHz regime, which exhibit long coherence times [2]. In this work, we study the hyperfine transitions in 167Er:7LiYF4 using broadband microwave spectroscopy employing a coplanar waveguide. The high resolution ESR spectra obtained at 10 mK allow to quantify the parameters of the spin Hamiltonian, in particular the hyperfine and quadrupole coefficients. Moreover, this technique allows to directly address various hyperfine transitions at their zero first-order Zeeman points, which is key for the implementation of mw QM schemes.
