A tin vacancy qubit is formed when two carbon atoms in a diamond are replaced by a single tin atom. This tin center has exceptional optical properties as it emits photons in the telecom wavelength ...

Stanford collaborators at the Q-NEXT quantum center amp up the signal from tin atoms embedded in diamond, opening ...

tin and lead that were in some cases just one atom thick – hundreds of thousands of times thinner than a human hair. In an article published in the journal Nature on Thursday, the researchers ...

this latest work involves swapping a silicon atom at the end of the tip with a tin atom immediately below it on the surface. The ability of this 'vertical interchange' approach to produce complex ...
