Silicon-Integrated Telecommunications Photon-Spin Interface
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Long-distance entanglement distribution is a vital capability for quantum technologies. An outstanding practical milestone towards this aim is the identification of a suitable matter-photon interface that possesses, simultaneously, long coherence lifetimes and efficient telecommunication-band optical access. In this work we report upon the T center, a silicon defect with long-lived spins and spin-selective bound exciton optical transitions at 1326 nm in the telecommunications O-band. In this first study of T centers in 28 Si, we present the temperature dependence of the zero-phonon line, report ensemble zero-phonon linewidths as narrow as 33(2) MHz, and elucidate the excited state spectrum of the bound exciton. Magnetophotoluminescence, in conjunction with magnetic resonance, is used to observe twelve distinct orientational subsets of the T center, which are independently addressable due to the anisotropic g factor of the bound exciton's hole spin. Here we show that the T center in 28 Si offers electron and nuclear spin lifetimes beyond a millisecond and second, respectively, as well as optical lifetimes of 0.94(1) s and a Debye-Waller factor of 0.23(1). This work represents a significant step towards coherent photonic interconnects between longlived silicon spins, spin-entangled telecom single-photon emitters, and spin-dependent silicon-integrated photonic nonlinearities for future global quantum technologies.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
