Spin-bearing molecules as optically addressable platforms for quantum technologies by Kuppusamy Senthil Kumar, Hunger David, Ruben Mario, Goldner Philippe, Serrano Diana

“…In this contribution, we present a concise and collective discussion of optically addressable spin-bearing molecules – namely, organic molecules, transition metal (TM) and rare-earth ion (REI) complexes – and highlight recent results such as chemical tuning of optical and electron spin quantum coherence, optical spin initialization and readout, intramolecular quantum teleportation, optical coherent storage, and photonic-enhanced optical addressing. We envision that optically addressable spin-carrying molecules could become a scalable building block of quantum hardware for applications in the fields of quantum sensing, quantum communication and quantum computing.…”

Structural, electronic, mechanical, optical and magnetic properties of RhNbZ (Z = Li, Si, As) Half-Heusler compounds: a first-principles study by Adem Beriso Bejo, Megersa Wodajo Shura, Kumneger Tadele, Mesfin Asfaw Afrassa, Fekadu Tolessa Maremi

“…Optical parameters such as dielectric function, reflectivity, refractive index, extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient, optical conductivity and electron energy loss were estimated in the photon energy range of 0–40 eV. Results from these properties calculations reveal that both absorption coefficient and optical conductivity have maximum values whereas electron energy loss has minimum value in the lower energy ranges which show that the materials under our study can be considered as potential candidates for optoelectronic applications. …”

Dynamics of spatial phase coherence in a dissipative Bose–Hubbard atomic system by Vatré, Rémy, Bouganne, Raphaël, Bosch Aguilera, Manel, Ghermaoui, Alexis, Beugnon, Jérôme, Lopes, Raphael, Gerbier, Fabrice

“…Equivalently, the spatial correlation function (the Fourier-conjugate quantity of the momentum distribution) progressively narrows down as more photons are scattered. Here we measure the correlation function of the matter field for fixed distances corresponding to nearest-neighbor (n-n) and next-nearest-neighbor (n-n-n) sites of the optical lattice as a function of time, hereafter called n-n and n-n-n correlators. …”
