Quantum information processing exploiting defects in wide gap materials

Open publisher page 6 citations
Abstract
Wide-gap materials, and especially defects and dopants in them, have characteristics that could enable quantum information processing. Spectroscopy, in particular, is a powerful resource, and spectroscopic methods might be used to manipulate quantum information. In some cases, the methods might lead to optically-controlled spintronics and, conceivably, to quantum information processing at room temperature. Other classes of device, whilst of more limited value technologically, do illustrate the pervasive role of quantum physics that is sometimes overlooked. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
