The long-dreamed-of capability of monitoring the molecular machinery in living systems has
not been realized yet, mainly due to the technical limitations of current sensing technologies …

Nitrogen is ubiquitous in both natural and laboratory-grown diamond, but the number and
nature of the nitrogen-containing defects can have a profound effect on the diamond …

This review briefly summarizes recent progress in defect electrocatalysts, and the synthesis
strategies and characterization techniques for defects are systematically discussed …

Integrated quantum photonics, ie the generation, manipulation, and detection of quantum
states of light in integrated photonic chips, is revolutionizing the field of quantum information …

ABSTRACT Femtosecond (Fs) laser micro-/nano-fabrication technology allows direct
definition of on-demand nanostructures with three-dimensional (3D) geometric features and …

Atomic defects in wide-bandgap materials, such as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color center in
diamond, show considerable promise for the development of a new generation of quantum …

Effective methods to generate colour centres in diamond and other wide band-gap materials
are essential to the realisation of solid state quantum technologies based on such systems …

With the invention of chirped pulse amplification for lasers in the mid-1980s, high power
ultrafast lasers entered into the world as a disruptive tool, with potential impact on a broad …

Single photon emitters in silicon carbide (SiC) are attracting attention as quantum photonic
systems (Awschalom et al. Nat. Photonics 2018, 12, 516− 527; Atatüre et al. Nat. Rev …

We report on pulsed-laser-induced generation of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond
facilitated by a solid-immersion lens (SIL). The SIL enables laser writing at energies as low …
