Abstract: Quantum defects are atomic defects in materials that provide resources to construct quantum information devices such as single-photon emitters (SPEs) and spin qubits. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials gained prominence as a host of quantum defects with many attractive features derived from their atomically thin and layered material formfactor. In this perspective, we discuss first-principles computational methods and challenges to predict the spin and electronic properties of quantum defects in 2D materials. We focus on the open quantum system nature of the defects and their interaction with external parameters such as electric field, magnetic field, and lattice strain. We also discuss how such prediction and understanding can be used to guide experimental studies, ranging from defect identification to tuning of their spin and optical properties. This perspective provides significant insights into the interplay between the defect, the host material, and the environment, which will be essential in the pursuit of ideal two-dimensional quantum defect platforms.

Database of semiconductor point-defect properties for applications in quantum technologies [54.17256385566032]
We have calculated over 50,000 point defects in various semiconductors including diamond, silicon carbide, and silicon. We characterize the relevant optical and electronic properties of these defects, including formation energies, spin characteristics, transition dipole moments, zero-phonon lines. We find 2331 composite defects which are stable in intrinsic silicon, which are then filtered to identify many new optically bright telecom spin qubit candidates and single-photon sources.

Quantum mechanical effects at the macroscopic level were first explored in Josephson junction-based superconducting circuits in the 1980s. In the last twenty years, the emergence of quantum information science has intensified research toward using these circuits as qubits in quantum information processors. The field of circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) has now become an independent and thriving field of research in its own right.
