Nanophotonics with Diamond and Silicon Carbide for Quantum Technologies

Diamond and silicon carbide are prominent semiconductors with exceptional optical properties such as large optical transparency from the UV to the far infrared and possess optical nonlinear coefficients. Due to their large bandgap, they can host paramagnetic atomic size point defects associated to vacancies in their crystal lattice, exhibiting exceptional quantum optical and electronic properties at room temperature. Further both materials have acquired a high control of purity from other defects during their growth, which makes them ideal platforms for future quantum technologies.Nanophotonics with Diamond and Silicon Carbide for Quantum Technologies provides an in-depth overview of the key developments on diamond and silicon carbide photonics to enable spin-photon interfaces, quantum computing, quantum imaging and quantum sensing. Written by world experts, chapters discuss nanophotonics effects (atomic size point center properties in the materials), fabrication of photonic components and integrated photonics circuits, photonics and nanophotonics enabling quantum sensing, and quantum information and networks via spin-photon interface.This book is a valuable resource to researchers and professionals interested on the fundamentals, trends, and diamond and silicon carbide applications in the quantum technology industry.
