King plots constructed from combinations of mass-weighted atomic isotope shifts provide a sensitive technique to search for electron-neutron interactions beyond the standard model mediated by a light boson. Using high-precision variational wave functions in Hylleraas coordinates, we present a comprehensive survey of all possible King plots arising from states of up to principal quantum number and angular momentum in order to identify the ones most sensitive to new physics. A major limitation in previous work due to second-order mass polarization is eliminated by the introduction of a second-King plot defined in terms of second differences. The residual theoretical uncertainty is then of the order of Hz, where is the fine-structure constant and is the reduced electron mass for a nucleus of mass . Test results are presented for the isotope sequence with and are compared with other methods, including the case recently studied both experimentally and theoretically. It is shown that the second-King plots for have about the same sensitivity to new physics as the case for boson masses up to about 10 keV, and nuclear size uncertainties (including nuclear polarization) are suppressed. This greatly extends the sensitivity to new physics for light two-electron systems.
We present an experimental study of the coherence properties of a single heavy-hole spin qubit formed in one quantum dot of a gated GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum dot device. We use a modified spin-readout latching technique in which the second quantum dot serves both as an auxiliary element for a fast spin-dependent readout within a 200 ns time window and as a register for storing the spin-state information. To manipulate the single-spin qubit, we apply sequences of microwave bursts of various amplitudes and durations to make Rabi, Ramsey, Hahn-echo, and CPMG measurements. As a result of the qubit manipulation protocols combined with the latching spin readout, we determine and discuss the achieved qubit coherence times: , , , and vs. microwave excitation amplitude, detuning, and additional relevant parameters.
