Quantum technologies could enable transformative advances in applications such as computing, cryptography and sensing, while furthering our understanding of chemistry and materials design. However, as we construct ever larger and more complex quantum devices, a key challenge is to control them in a way that preserves their fragile quantum nature.

In this talk, Chandrasekhar Ramanathan will describe ongoing efforts in our group to control the dynamics of both electron and nuclear spins in solids using magnetic resonance techniques. These electron and nuclear spin system are excellent platforms for the study of quantum dynamics, due to their long coherence and relaxation times. He will also discuss our efforts to hyperpolarize nuclear spins in semiconductors via dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) techniques, and discuss how the enhanced nuclear spin signal can be used to probe the local physics and chemistry.
