Ultraviolet laser pulses engineer diamond defects selectively, leaving quantum qubits intact
When we think about a diamond, we often think about a material whose value comes from its perfection.
When we think about a diamond, we often think about a material whose value comes from its perfection.
The short version
- In my research, however, I am interested in something almost opposite: the tiny imperfections inside diamonds.
- These atomic-scale defects can give diamonds new optical and electronic properties, and some of them can serve as quantum systems.
- The challenge is learning how to control these defects without disturbing the others.

Why it matters
Our work, now published in the journal Diamond and Related Materials , explored whether ultraviolet laser pulses could provide that control.
