Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are point defects where a nitrogen atom replaces a carbon atom adjacent to a lattice vacancy. This defect structure, consisting of a nitrogen atom and a missing carbon atom in the diamond lattice, exhibits unique quantum properties. These properties make NV centers highly attractive for a range of quantum technologies, including sensing and quantum computing.
The electronic spin state of the NV center can be optically initialized and read out, and coherently
In quantum computing, NV centers can serve as qubits. Their long coherence times at room temperature and
