Predicting the optical read-out of a qubit from first principles

Posted on August 18, 2022 by zeila zanolli

Phonon-assisted luminescence is a key property of defect centers in semiconductors. It can be measured to perform the readout of the information stored in a quantum bit or used to detect temperature variations. The investigation of phonon-assisted luminescence is now … Continue reading →
