In this video Tim Taminiau will introduce the nitrogen vacancy center qubit, or shortly the NV center qubit. These NV centers have several unique features that make them promising for quantum information systems.

Main takeways

• Spins of trapped electrons in nitrogen vacancy centers make promising quantum bits.
• These qubits have long coherence times and can work in a large range of temperatures.
• The electrons couple to surrounding nuclear spins, offering extra information storage possibilities.
• Also, the interaction between electron spins and photons allow the realization of quantum networks.
