Coupling of Electron Spin Ensembles to Superconducting Transmission Line Resonators

ORAL

Abstract

Recent proposals have suggested using a mesoscopic ensemble of electron spins to create a quantum memory for superconducting qubits in solid state systems[1]. Such ensembles can have large cavity couplings ($\sim $MHz) and should have long coherence times. Here we show the measurement and coupling of electron spins in ruby and diamond to multiplexed superconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) cavities, as well as broadband spectroscopy of ruby using a CPW transmission line. We discuss the application of these techniques to electron spin resonance at low power, millikelvin temperatures, and over many gigahertz and evaluate the suitability of our materials for quantum computing. \\[4pt] [1] Wesenberg J et al 2009 Phys.
