The divacancies in SiC are a family of paramagnetic defects that show promise for quantum
communication technologies due to their long-lived electron spin coherence and their …

We introduce a process for the fabrication of high-quality, spatially isolated nano-diamonds
on iridium via microwave-plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth. We …

Diamond, a material marvelled for its strength, beauty and perfection, was first used to polish
stone axes in Neolithic times. This most ancient of materials is now being touted by many as …

Quantum computing is an attractive and multidisciplinary field, which became a focus for
experimental and theoretical research during the last decade. Among other systems, such …
