Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., the internal angular momentum of particles). These defects are central to ...

Atomic-scale defects in 2D materials show terahertz spin splitting, pointing to robust spin qubits and single-photon emitters at higher temperatures. (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the National ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that atomic-scale substitutional dopants in ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials can act as stable quantum systems ...
