Abstract : Recently we have demonstrated experimentally the implementation of a novel and universal method to increase the decoherence time of spins qubits [1] in systems with different anisotropies / symmetries / spin-orbit coupling and type of element. The method is based on Floquet engineering of spin qubits quasi-energies by adding a second microwave drive with a frequency commensurate to that of the main Rabi drive. Qualitatively, the increase in coherence time can be linked to dynamical sweet spots (level repulsion) in quasi-energy spectra. Quantitatively, we add insight using numerical simulations [2] aiming to clarify the actual physical processes that take place in the bath surrounding the qubit. We are also exploring the potential use of spin systems as quantum memories [3] and to that effect, we have performed spectroscopic and pulsed studies of S=7/2 Gd ions placed on a coplanar stripline superconducting resonator. In the weak coupling limit, continuous-wave spectroscopy of the cavity resonance perturbation allows us to detect the forbidden electro-nuclear transition of the 155,157Gd isotopes by applying a static field almost perpendicular to crystal c-axis [4]. By increasing the coupling of the spin ensemble to the resonator we observe spin-cavity dressed states with a large mode splitting of ~150 MHz. Numerical simulations based on Dicke model shows a strong hybridization of the first excited level in the presence of a photon and the second excited level with no photon as well as a strong perturbation of the spin ground state generated by photons.
