Week-long-lifetime microwave spectral holes in an erbium-doped scheelite crystal at millikelvin temperature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rare-earth-ions (REI) doped crystals have remarkable optical and spin properties characterized by narrow homogeneous linewidths, which can be studied despite the large inhomogeneous broadening of the ensemble line through spectral hole burning (SHB). Here, we report SHB spectroscopic measurements in a scheelite crystal of CaWO4 by pumping the spin transition of a paramagnetic REI (Er3+) at microwave frequency and millikelvin temperatures, with nuclear spin states of neighboring 183W atoms serving as the auxiliary levels. The repeated application of pairs of microwave pulses generates a periodic modulation of the Er3+ density profile, which we observe spectrally and in the time-domain as an accumulated echo. The lifetime of the holes and accumulated echoes rises steeply as the sample temperature is decreased, exceeding a week at 10mK. Our results demonstrate that millikelvin temperatures can be beneficial for signal processing applications requiring long spectral hole lifetimes. The authors report spectral hole burning with a record hole lifetime in a Er3+ doped scheelite crystal CaWO4 at mK temperatures. This can benefit applications in classical and quantum information processing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
