We realize an elementary quantum network node consisting of a silicon-vacancy (SiV) color
center inside a diamond nanocavity coupled to a nearby nuclear spin with 100-ms-long …

Bell's 1964 theorem, which states that the predictions of quantum theory cannot be
accounted for by any local theory, represents one of the most profound developments in the …

We theoretically study physical properties of the most promising color center candidates for
the recently observed single-photon emissions in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) …

The negatively charged silicon vacancy (SiV) color center in diamond has recently proven its
suitability for bright and stable single photon emission. However, its electronic structure so …
