Single defects in crystals for quantum network applications
Prof. Dr. Kai-Mei Fu (Depts of Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, USA)

Single defects in crystals, often termed “quantum defects”,
are promising qubit candidates for quantum network applications. I will
first provide an overview of the types of properties we seek in single
defects, how we create these defects and how we measure them,
illustrated with examples from my group’s research. I will then present
the semiconductor-on-diamond integrated photonics platform my group is
developing to scale networks of many entangled quantum defects.
