Many types of materials are currently being considered for use in quantum technology, but most can only hold a stable quantum state when chilled to extreme temperatures.
This is just one way that PPPL continues to advance strategic national priorities, such as creating the technology of the future.
The oxygen-based defects Martirez is studying shine blue, while the boron-based defects emit an ultraviolet light.
Research could allow quantum chemistry to enrich itself When Martirez thinks about the future of his field, he said it’s interesting to note that quantum chemistry may help develop tools to “enrich itself” in the decades to come.
Martirez said a practical multi-qubit system would vastly improve the level of accuracy of quantum chemistry calculations.
