Rare-earth dopants in solids are conducive of sharp optical transitions and long spin coherence at cryogenic temperatures. While superb coherences are routine in high-quality bulk crystals, the more versatile materials such as rare-earth doped nanoparticles and ceramics have suffered from excessive decoherence due to disorder. This work reports a surprisingly …
