We demonstrate the suppression of nuclear-spin fluctuations in an InAs quantum dot and measure the timescales of the spin narrowing effect. By initializing for tens of milliseconds with two continuous wave diode lasers, fluctuations of the nuclear spins are suppressed via the hole-assisted dynamic nuclear polarization feedback mechanism. The fluctuation narrowed state persists in the dark (absent light illumination) for well over 1 s even in the presence of a varying electron charge and spin polarization. Enhancement of the electron spin coherence time (T2*) is directly measured using coherent dark state spectroscopy. By separating the calming of the nuclear spins in time from the spin qubit operations, this method is much simpler than the spin echo coherence recovery or dynamic decoupling schemes.

The chemical reactivity of radical pairs is strongly influenced by the interactions of electronic and nuclear spins. A detailed understanding of these effects requires a quantum description of the spin dynamics that considers spin-dependent reaction rates, interactions with external magnetic fields, spin-spin interactions, and the loss of spin coherence caused by coupling to a fluctuating environment. Modeling real chemical and biochemical systems, which frequently involve radicals with multinuclear spin systems, poses a severe computational challenge.

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has revolutionized the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, expanding its reach and capabilities to investigate diverse materials, biomolecules, and complex dynamic processes. Bringing high-efficiency DNP to the nanometer scale would open exciting avenues for studying nanoscale nuclear spin ensembles, such as single biomolecules, virus particles, and condensed matter systems. Combining pulsed DNP with nanoscale force-detected magnetic resonance measurements, we demonstrated a 100-fold enhancement in the Boltzmann polarization of proton spins in nanoscale sugar droplets at 6 kelvin and 0.

Coherent many-body states are highly promising for robust quantum information processing. While far-reaching theoretical predictions have been made for various implementations, direct experimental evidence of their appealing properties can be challenging. Here, we demonstrate optical manipulation of the nuclear spin ensemble in the lead halide perovskite semiconductor FAPbBr (FA = formamidinium), targeting a long-postulated collective dark state that is insensitive to optical pumping after its build-up.

Magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is establishing itself as a powerful method for the characterization of protein dynamics at the atomic scale. We discuss here how R MAS relaxation dispersion NMR can explore microsecond-to-millisecond motions. Progress in instrumentation, isotope labeling, and pulse sequence design has paved the way for quantitative analyses of even rare structural fluctuations.
