Abstract: Hexagonal boron nitride, as a wide bandgap two-dimensional semiconductor material, can accommodate a wealth of optically addressable spin defects. Among them, boron vacancy defects, which have attracted much attention, exhibit high fluorescence and optical stability at room temperature, with an easily manipulable spin structure, making them a popular direction in the field of quantum precision measurement. In this paper, a 532 nm laser and coplanar waveguide microwave radiation structure are used to achieve spin state initialization and coherent manipulation of boron vacancy defects. Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectra with high contrast are detected at room temperature, and the influence of external magnetic field on electron spin is studied. On this basis, the coherence characteristics of the defects are further studied by measuring the Rabi oscillation and the ODMR spectra of the nuclear spin are successfully observed. In this paper, the detection of basic properties and coherent manipulation of boron vacancy spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride are realized, which lays the foundation for its further application in quantum information science.
