Summary

A full-Hessian search balances modeled dephasing and microwave control, then numerically relocates operating points after parameter drift.

For erbium-167 in yttrium orthosilicate, the authors search zero-first-order-Zeeman operating points with an anisotropic field-covariance model from the host lattice. Four Pareto-optimal transition pairs trade modeled magnetic pure-dephasing time against microwave control authority. In an assumption-based Hamiltonian-uncertainty analysis, every sampled perturbation shifted the nominal field coordinate, but numerical vector-field recalibration recovered the Pareto points. The very long modeled lifetimes remain conditional on the adopted bath and correlation assumptions and on operation near 10 millikelvin.

Why it matters
