Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāPoint defect for quantum technologies is an emerging research area, with the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond at the forefront. However, how rare are defects with NV-like properties? In this Perspective, I highlight the results of NV-like defects across 33 different materials, revealing that they are more common than finding four-leaf clovers. I also discuss expanding the search criteria to identify other defects relevant to quantum technologies. Utilizing point defect databases will be instrumental in assisting researchers in discovering previously unexplored defects suitable for quantum technologies.
