Author(s): Jonathan M. Kindem, John G. Bartholomew, Philip J. T. Woodburn, Tian Zhong, Ioana Craiciu, Rufus L. Cone, Charles W. Thiel, and Andrei Faraon Rare-earth ion crystals are a promising platform for implementing solid-state quantum interfaces, yet there are few combinations of rare-earth and host crystals that simultaneously deliver large optical absorption, narrow inhomogeneous linewidths, and long coherence times. This work investigates the optical and spin properties of 171 Yb 3 + ions in : YVO 4 . The observed properties and simple energy-level structure of the 171 Yb 3 + ion show that this material has significant potential for creating efficient quantum interfaces, such as ensemble-based memories, microwave-to-optical transducers, and optically addressable single rare-earth ion spin qubits.
