Single emitters in solids are a particularly promising building block for large-scale quantum networks because their integration in micro- and nanodevices offers great potential for scalability. Previously, our group has demonstrated the coherent manipulation and efficient optical interfacing of individual erbium emitters in a micrometer-thin yttrium orthosilicate membrane by integrating it into a high finesse Fabry-Perot resonator [1]. In recent devices, we achieve a Purcell enhancement of their optical transition in the telecom C-band of up to 110. The coherence of our system could be greatly increased by encoding the information stored onto long-lived nuclear spins. We investigate two different approaches. First, we consider the superhyperfine interaction of a single erbium electron spin with the nuclear spin of neighboring yttrium ions. In a second approach, we study the 7/2 nuclear spin of the isotope Er167, opening a promising path to quantum repeater nodes with second-long coherence.
