This research investigates the coupling of multiple superconducting microwave cavities to spin ensembles, demonstrating signatures of strong interaction and the emergence of dark states. These dark states offer a promising route for extending quantum memory coherence times by shielding non-classical information from environmental decoherence through suppressed circuit coupling. The study provides theoretical modeling that reproduces spectral data and extracts key coupling parameters essential for advancing hybrid quantum architectures.
Multi-cavity strong coupling to an electron spin ensemble: spectral and dark-state signatures
arXiv:2608.05765v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spin ensembles are considered as potential candidates for quantum memory and quantum enhanced sensing applications. Here, we explore the controlled coupling of multiple superconducting microwave cavities to a spin ensemble, which shows signatures of strong coupling and, due to the multi-mode character, the formation of dark states. In particular, the latter are of interest, as they provide a potential pathway to enhance memory times and enable protected storage of non-classical states in spin ensembles due to the suppressed coupling to the circuit environment. We model the spin multi-cavity hybrid to reproduce the spectra and extract characteristic coupling strengths using the input-output formalism.
