Optimal coupling of HoW$_{10}$ molecular magnets to superconducting circuits near spin clock transitions

2019

A central goal in quantum technologies is to maximize $G$T$_{2}$, where $G$ stands for the coupling of a qubit to control and readout signals and T$_{2}$ is the qubit's coherence time. This is challenging, as increasing $G$ (e.g. by coupling the qubit more strongly to external stimuli) often leads to deleterious effects on T$_{2}$. Here, we study the coupling of pure and magnetically diluted crystals of HoW$_{10}$ magnetic clusters to microwave superconducting coplanar waveguides. Absorption lines give a broadband picture of the magnetic energy level scheme and, in particular, confirm the existence of level anticrossings at equidistant magnetic fields determined by the combination of crysta…
