Abstract

The ability to control microwave emission from a spin ensemble is a requirement of several quantum memory protocols. Here, we demonstrate such ability by using a resonator whose frequency can be rapidly tuned with a bias current. We store excitations in an ensemble of rare-earth ions and suppress on demand the echo emission ("echo silencing") by two methods: (1)detuning the resonator during the spin rephasing, and (2)subjecting spins to magnetic field gradients generated by the bias current itself. We also show that spin coherence is preserved during silencing.
