Towards $\text{ab initio}$ identification of paramagnetic substitutional carbon defects in hexagonal boron nitride acting as quantum bits

Philipp Auburger, Adam Gali

Paramagnetic substitutional carbon (C${}_{\text{B}}$, C${}_{\text{N}}$) defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are discussed as candidates for quantum bits. Their identification and suit…
