Book excerpt: The properties of quantum spins diluted in non-magnetic crystals make them a promising candidatefor a quantum memory given their long coherence and relaxation times and their limited Hilbert space span by the electron and nuclear states of the spin Hamiltonian. In order to efficiently store and retrieve the quantum information from, let's say a superconducting qubit quantum processor, the coupling between systems is mediated by on-chip superconducting resonators that acts as a quantum bus. For this, a strong coupling between the spin quantum memory and electromagnetic mode of the superconducting resonator is needed. The results presented in this dissertation demonstrates the implementation of coupled photonic states of an on-chip superconducting resonator with a Gd3+ rare-earth ion hosted in a scheelite (CaWO4) crystal. Experiments probing the weakly coupled limit of the resonator mode with the electronuclear states of the 155,157Gd3+ isotopes diluted in CaWO4 crystal are shown. Highly sensitive field dependent cavity spectroscopy measurements showed the perturbation of the resonator properties, such as the cavity linewidth and resonance frequency. Information about the spin ensemble phase memory loss rate and coupling strength were obtained for the six observed resonances resulting from the hyperfine slitting of the Gd odd isotopes. Given the resonator microwave field distribution and carefully selecting the orientation of the static field relative crystallographic c-axis, we were able to detect highly forbidden electron spin resnonance (ESR) transitions. Additionaly, the strong coupling signal of the Gd3+ spin transition between the first and second excited state with the on-chip resonator mode is demonstrated. By analyzing the spectroscopic signal using the Dicke model that describes the interaction of photonic states with a large S spin the observed transitions were reproduced by numerical diagonalization of the spin-cavity Hamiltonian. Lastly the dynamics of the spin-cavity states were explored via pulsed ESR measurements by recording the cavity ring-down signal at different pulse lengths and drive powers. The presented results are only a first step into the exploration of the Gd3+ spin dynamics at millikelvin temperatures.
