Chemical admixtures are widely used to adjust properties of the cementitious mixtures. Different superplasticizers (SP) are typically added to improve the flowability of the fresh cement paste. Their working period is the initial stage of the cement hydration from its beginning until stiffening. Currently, polycarboxy…

In this thesis we explore various ways to extend population lifetimes and coherence times of solid-state emitters. We focus on rare-earth-ion doped host materials and silicon vacancy centers in diamond, both of which are used for applications in quantum information processing and quantum communications. Enhanced lifet…
