Diamond is rapidly emerging as a key material for quantum technologies, driven by nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers that enable optical readout and spin control with long coherence times at room temperature. Realizing reliable quantum devices, however, requires exceptional control over material purity, strain, isotopic composition, and the precise spatial placement of defects.
In this webinar, Dr. Alexandre Tallaire (CNRS, Institut de Recherche de Chimie Paris) will present how focused ion beam (FIB) implantation enables controlled nitrogen incorporation into diamond to create NV centers, and how FIB structuring around implanted regions supports resonator and photonic concepts essential for quantum applications. The session combines a leading research perspective with a concise technical introduction from Anne Delobbe (CTO, Tescan), highlighting how dedicated implantation workflows on Tescan QuiiN support this work in practice.
