Highly tunable magneto-optical response from magnesium-vacancy color centers in diamond

Abstract Defect quantum bits (qubits) constitute an important emerging technology. However, it is necessary to explore new types of defects to enable large-scale applications. In this article, we examine the potential of magnesium-vacancy (MgV) in diamond to operate as a qubit by computing the key e...
