Assistant Professor of Physics Charles Collett recently published an article in the journal Review of Scientific Instruments. The paper is titled “A configurable two-tone electron spin resonance spectrometer,” and may be viewed here.
Collett explained, “This publication presents my novel electron spin resonance spectrometer, which is an apparatus that allows me to simultaneously interact with multiple quantum spin systems. These spin systems operate at very specific frequencies, and previous spectrometers have only been able to simultaneously interact with systems very close to each other in frequency, within a range similar to that of an FM radio.
“My spectrometer should allow me to work with spin systems separated by more than 10 times that range, and it is built from relatively cheap off-the-shelf components. I will be using it to explore these spin systems as possible components of a quantum computer,” he said.
