Abstract
Section titled âAbstractâNitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond are found to be more affected by local charge than expected, which has implications for the use of the defects as quantum sensors.by Ania Bleszynski Jayich * P oint defects in solids are emerging as powerful quantum elements for various technologies, such as sensing, computing, and communication.These defects can not only have long quantum coherence times, but they can also be produced in a scalable way and integrated into devices.Still, researchers must grapple with the fact that, unlike atoms in a vacuum, defects in a solid experience an environment that is, to some extent, uncontrollable and ânoisy,â which may lead to quantum physics.aps.org
