We report a new method for single-electron-spin-resonance spectroscopy at millikelvin temperatures. It consists in measuring the spin fluorescence signal at microwave frequencies using a microwave photon counter based on a superconducting transmon qubit. In our experiment, individual paramagnetic erbium ions in a scheelite crystal of CaWO4 are magnetically coupled to a small-mode-volume, high-quality factor superconducting microwave resonator to enhance their radiative decay rate. We detect the microwave photon spontaneously emitted by a spin following its excitation with a signal-to-noise ratio of 1.9 in one second integration time. Coherence times up to 3 ms are measured, limited by the spin radiative lifetime. The method applies to arbitrary paramagnetic species with long enough non-radiative relaxation time, and offers large detection volumes (10 µm3); as such, it may find applications in magnetic resonance and quantum computing.
