Polarization freezing of 10000 optically-cooled nuclear spins by coupling to a single electron
英文摘要：
The nature of the nano-scale environment presents a major challenge for solid-state implementation of spin-based qubits. In this work, a single electron spin in an optically pumped nanometer-sized III-V semiconductor quantum dot is used to control a macroscopic nuclear spin of several thousand nuclei, freezing its decay and leading to spin life-times exceeding 100 seconds at low temperatures. Few-millisecond-fast optical initialization of the nuclear spin is followed by a slow decay exhibiting random telegraph signals at long delay times, arising from low probability electron jumps out of the dot. The remarkably long spin life-time in a dot surrounded by a densely-packed nuclear spin environment arises from the Knight field created by the resident electron, which leads to suppression of nuclear spin depolarization.
