The project of our department successful at the JSI tender "RSF 2024"

The project of Dr Mitja Kelemen "Near surface ion-vacancy implanter for quantum systems manufacturing" was selected in strong competition at this year's RSF (Development Pillar of Funding) tender in the "Science" pillar, category "Start", intended for younger researchers for basic and applied projects. The project focuses on the low-energy implantation of various ions into the crystal (to a depth of less than 10 nm), which will be achieved by using the new "Low Energy Branch" beamline, which accelerates the ions up to a few keV. The defects thus created in the diamond crystal in combination with the implanted ion behave as a stable qubit that can be used in quantum computing at room temperature. The system will enable in-situ monitoring of the creation and activation of quantum centers and thus contribute to a better understanding of the topic of quantum centers in diamonds.
