Title: Taming Atomic Defects for Quantum Functions
Authors: Saban M. Hus and An-Ping Li
Abstract summary: Single atoms provide an ideal system for utilizing fundamental quantum functions. The counterpart of single atoms -- the single defects -- may be as good as atom-based quantum systems if not better. We introduce some of our recent work on precisely controlled creation and manipulation of individual defects with a scanning tunneling microscope.

Abstract: Single atoms provide an ideal system for utilizing fundamental quantum functions. Their electrons have well-defined energy levels and spin properties. Even more importantly, for a given isotope -- say, $^{12}$C -- all the atoms are identical. This creates a perfect uniformity that is impossible to achieve in macroscopic-size quantum systems. However, herding individual atoms is a very difficult task that requires trapping them with magnetic or optical means and cooling them down to temperatures in the nanokelvin range. On the other hand, the counterpart of single atoms -- the single defects -- may be as good as atom-based quantum systems if not better. These defects, also referred as quantum defects, possess the favorable energy, spin, and uniformity properties of single atoms and remain in their place without the help of precisely tuned lasers. While the number of usable isotopes is set, the combinations of defects and their host material are practically limitless, giving us the flexibility to create precisely designed and controlled quantum systems. Furthermore, as we tame these defects for the quantum world, we bring about transformative opportunities to the classical world in forms such as ultradense electronic devices and precise manufacturing. In this research insight, we introduce some of our recent work on precisely controlled creation and manipulation of individual defects with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). We also discuss possible pathways for utilizing these capabilities for the development of novel systems for Quantum Information Science (QIS) applications such as quantum information processing and ultrasensitive sensors.

All-Optical Nuclear Quantum Sensing using Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond [52.77024349608834]
Microwave or radio-frequency driving poses a significant limitation for miniaturization, energy-efficiency and non-invasiveness of quantum sensors. We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing. Our results pave the way for highly compact quantum sensors to be employed for magnetometry or gyroscopy applications.

Harnessing the Quantum Behavior of Spins on Surfaces [5.934931737701265]
Single atoms and molecules on surfaces are investigated by physicists, chemists, and material scientists in search of novel electronic and magnetic functionalities. In 2015, it was first clearly demonstrated that individual spins on a surface can be coherently controlled and read out in an all-electrical fashion. This review aims to illustrate the essential ingredients that allow the quantum operations of single spins on surfaces.

We propose a mixture of two ultracold atomic species as a platform for universal quantum computation with long-range entangling gates. One atomic species realizes localized collective spins of tunable length, which form the fundamental unit of information. We discuss a finite-dimensional version of the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill code to protect quantum information encoded in the collective spins.

Quantum Hall phase emerging in an array of atoms interacting with photons [101.18253437732933]
Topological quantum phases underpin many concepts of modern physics. Here, we reveal that the quantum Hall phase with topological edge states, spectral Landau levels and Hofstadter butterfly can emerge in a simple quantum system. Such systems, arrays of two-level atoms (qubits) coupled to light being described by the classical Dicke model, have recently been realized in experiments with cold atoms and superconducting qubits.
