Electron-spin resonance

A resonant oscillating field flips a spin.

01 / Mathematical framework
$$f_{\rm ESR}=\frac{|g|\mu_B B}{h}$$

Physical intuition

A resonant oscillating field flips a spin.

Deep dive: physical mechanism

Transverse microwave driving produces Rabi oscillations in a rotating frame.

What is measured experimentally?

Rabi chevrons and Ramsey fringes quantify control.

Assumptions, noise and limitations

Off-resonant driving and microwave heating reduce fidelity.

Research and simulation exercise

Numerically integrate a driven two-level Hamiltonian.
