High fidelity optical readout of a nuclear spin qubit in Silicon Carbide

Quantum state readout is a key requirement for a successful qubit platform. In this work we demonstrate a high fidelity quantum state readout of a V2 center nuclear spin based on a repetitive readout technique. We demonstrate up to 99.5$\,\%$ readout fidelity and 99$\,\%$ for state preparation. Using this efficient readout we initialise the nuclear spin by measurement and demonstrate its Rabi and Ramsey nutation. Finally, we use the nuclear spin as a long lived memory for quantum sensing application of weakly coupled diatomic nuclear spin bath.
