CUA Seminar: Nathalie de Leon – New platforms for quantum sensing and quantum computing

Location:Harvard Jefferson 250

Nathalie de Leon, Princeton University

The nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond exhibits spin-dependent fluorescence and long spin coherence times under ambient conditions, enabling applications in quantum information processing and sensing. NV centers near the surface can have strong interactions with external materials and spins, enabling new forms of nanoscale spectroscopy. However, NV spin coherence degrades within 100 nanometers of...
