Researchers optically address individual T-center spins in silicon

Mar 13, 2021

Alexander Kurkjian, Daniel Higginbottom and colleagues integrate individually addressable T-center spin qubits into silicon photonic structures and measure optical transitions at telecommunications wavelengths that depend on their spin.

Why it matters

An optical interface for individual silicon spins offers a route to connecting matter-based quantum memories through telecommunications photons.
