Enhancing Coherence of Spin Centers in p-n Diodes via Optimization Algorithms
Jonatan A. Posligua, David E. Stewart, Denis R. Candido
Solid-state spin defects hold great promise as building blocks for various quantum technologies. Embedding spin centers in - diodes under reverse bias has proved to be a powe…
Engineering diamond interfaces free of dark spins
Xiaofei Yu, Evan J. Villafranca, Stella Wang +10
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are extensively utilized as quantum sensors for imaging fields at the nanoscale. The ultra-high sensitivity of NV magnetometers has enabled…
Quantum Coherence of Rare-Earth Ions in Heterogeneous Photonic Interfaces
Henry C. Hammer, Hassan A. Bukhari, Yogendra Limbu +6
Harnessing rare-earth ions in oxides for quantum networks requires integration with bright emitters in III-V semiconductors, but local disorder and interfacial noise limit their op…
Probing cellular activity via charge-sensitive quantum nanoprobes
Uri Zvi, Shivam Mundhra, David Ovetsky +12
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) based quantum sensors hold great potential for real-time single-cell sensing with far-reaching applications in fundamental biology and medical diagnostics. Al…
Functionalized CrC MXenes: Novel Magnetic Semiconductors
Yogendra Limbu, Hari Paudyal, Eudes Gomes da Silva +3
We report an \textit{ab initio} investigation of functionalized and 3-electrons doped CrC MXenes. Upon functionalization, the CrC becomes chemically, dynamically, and me…
Dual topological insulator with mirror symmetry protected helical edge states
Warlley H. Campos, Poliana H. Penteado, Julian Zanon +3
Dual topological insulators (DTIs) are simultaneously protected by time-reversal and crystal symmetries, representing advantageous alternatives to conventional topological insulato…
