Scaling Spin Coherence in Solid-state Defect Qubit

ORAL

Abstract

The electron spin coherence time T2 is one of the most critical material parameters for qubits. Here we show a scaling relationship of T2 of solid-state spin qubits on electron and nuclear spins’ parameters based on the cluster correlation expansion (CCE) calculations, constituting a new tool for the qubit material exploration [1,2]. We calculate T2 for a single nuclear species for all stable spinful species with various spin densities n, and find that the scaling relationship T2,i ~ n-1.0|g|-1.6I-1.1 for a dilute (< 1022 cm-3) spinful nuclear bath (g: g-factor of nuclear spin, I: quantum number of nuclear spin). We show the nuclear spin baths are decoupled under external magnetic fields typically encountered in experiments (> 30 mT), and the T2 of the compounds can be estimated by (ΣiT2,i-2)-0.5. These relationships enable one to predict T2 of the materials without extensive computations.
