Researchers at IQC, MIT, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a technique that enables them to identify and control a greater number of microscopic defects in diamond. Outlined in a paper published by PRX Quantum this week, this new technique could help researchers build a larger system of qubits that can perform quantum sensing with greater sensitivity.
“I am thrilled to announce the latest milestone in our journey to advance quantum sensing with spin defects in diamond. Our research showcases groundbreaking insights into the characterization and control of a spin defect beyond the coherence limit of a central spin,” said Alexandre Cooper-Roy, an IQC research associate and senior technical lead for Quantum Simulation and Transformative Quantum Technologies.
“By pushing the boundaries of quantum sensing, our paper offers a pathway towards scaling up spin systems in solids and using the spin bath as a resource for quantum-enhanced sensing. This breakthrough holds immense potential for revolutionizing various industries and scientific fields.”
