Table 1 Decay times
Time | Typical value | Description | Influence |
|---|---|---|---|
\(T_2^*\) | >1 s | Target spin-coherence time | Limits ultimate spectral resolution |
\(T_2^{{\rm{sens}}}\) | 688 ± 31 μs | Sensor spin-coherence time | Limits sensing time (i.e., target access) |
\(T_1^{{\rm{sens}}}\) | 6.3±0.6 ms | Sensor spin longitudinal-relaxation time | Affects target and memory coherence |
\(T_2^{{\rm{mem}}}\) | 8.6±1.3 ms | Memory spin-coherence time | Limits quantum storage time |
\(T_1^{{\rm{mem}}}\) | 260 ± 20 s | Memory spin longitudinal-relaxation time | Limits classical storage time |
