Room-Temperature Spin Coherence Could Open Up New Paths to Quantum Sensing Tech
Insider Brief Scientists at Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory have found that a single ‘atomic defect’ in a thin material, Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN), exhibits spin coherence under ambient conditions. These spins can also be controlled with light. Though more work remains, the team suggests this is a solid step toward materials that can be used by […]
