Experimental demonstration of two-photon magnetic resonances in a single-spin-system of a solid

While the manipulation of quantum systems is significantly developed so far, achieving a single-source multi-use system for quantum-information processing and networks is still challenging. A virtual state, a so-called ``dressed state," is a potential host for quantum hybridizations of quantum physical systems with various operational ranges. We present an experimental demonstration of a dressed state generated by two-photon magnetic resonances using a single spin in a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. The two-photon magnetic resonances occur under the application of microwave and radio-frequency fields, with different operational ranges. The experimental results reveal the behavior of two-photon magnetic transitions in a single defect spin in a solid, thus presenting new potential quantum and semi-classical hybrid systems with different operational ranges using superconductivity and spintronics devices.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, Revised manuscript and figure

Dynamical Scaling of Polymerized Membranes

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to analyze the sub-diffusion dynamics of a tagged monomer in self-avoiding polymerized membranes in the flat phase. By decomposing the mean square displacement into the out-of-plane ($\parallel$) and the in-plane ($\perp$) components, we obtain good data collapse with two distinctive diffusion exponents $2 \alpha_{\parallel} = 0.36 \pm 0.01$ and $2 \alpha_{\perp} = 0.21 \pm 0.01$, and the roughness exponents $\zeta_{\parallel} = 0.6 \pm 0.05$ and $\zeta_{\perp} = 0.25 \pm 0.05$, respectively for each component. Their values are consistent with the relation from the rotational symmetry. We derive the generalized Langevin equations to describe the sub-diffusional behaviors of a tagged monomer in the intermediate time regime where the collective effect of internal modes in the membrane dominate the dynamics to produce negative memory kernels with a power-law. We also briefly discuss how the long-range hydrodynamic interactions alter the exponents.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, (Europhysics Letters, in press
