Optical signatures of silicon-vacancy spins in diamond
Tina Muller, Christian Hepp, Benjamin Pingault +7
Colour centres in diamond have emerged as versatile tools for solid-state quantum technologies ranging from quantum information to metrology, where the nitrogen-vacancy centre is t…
The electronic structure of the silicon vacancy color center in diamond
Christian Hepp, Tina Müller, Victor Waselowski +8
The negatively charged silicon vacancy (SiV) color center in diamond has recently proven its suitability for bright and stable single photon emission. However, its electronic struc…
Evaluation of nitrogen- and silicon-vacancy defect centres as single photon sources in quantum key distribution
Matthias Leifgen, Tim Schröder, Friedemann Gädeke +8
We demonstrate a quantum key distribution (QKD) testbed for room temperature single photon sources based on defect centres in diamond. A BB84 protocol over a short free-space trans…
