First-principles design of main-group dimer defects in ZnO as candidate quantum defects
Taejoon Park, Erik Alfredo Perez, Shimin Zhang +2
Zinc oxide (ZnO), a wide-band-gap semiconductor with mature growth techniques, is a promising host for optically active quantum spins. Yet, optically active quantum defects in ZnO…
Deep Spin Defects in Zinc Oxide for High-Fidelity Single-Shot Readout
Shimin Zhang, Taejoon Park, Erik Perez +10
Wide-bandgap oxides such as ZnO are favorable hosts for spin defect qubits due to their dilute nuclear spin background and potential for ultra-high purity. Yet, a deep-level defect…
Artificial Symmetry Breaking by Self-Interaction Error
Lin Hou, Cody Woods, Yanyong Wang +7
Symmetry is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics and materials theory, underpinning the classification of electronic states and the emergence of complex phenomena such as magnetism a…
Excited-State Dynamics and Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance of Solid-State Spin Defects from First Principles
Kejun Li, Vsevolod D. Dergachev, Ilya D. Dergachev +3
Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) is an efficient and reliable method that enables initialization and readout of spin states through spin-photon interface. In general, h…
