新兴的量子技术需要对日益复杂的量子系统进行精确控制。金刚石中的缺陷，特别是带负电荷的氮空位中心，是一个有前途的平台，有可能实现从超灵敏的纳米级量子传感器到长距离量子网络的量子中继器，到多体量子系统中复杂动力学过程的模拟器，到可扩展的量子计算机等技术。虽然这些进展在很大程度上是由于钻石独特的材料特性，但这种材料的独特性也带来了困难，并且越来越需要用于表征，生长，缺陷控制和制造的新型材料科学技术，致力于实现钻石的量子应用。在本文中，我们确定并讨论了与钻石量子技术相关的主要材料科学挑战和机遇。
Emerging quantum technologies require precise control over quantum systems of increasing complexity. Defects in diamond, particularly the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy center, are a promising platform with the potential to enable technologies ranging from ultra-sensitive nanoscale quantum sensors, to quantum repeaters for long distance quantum networks, to simulators of complex dynamical processes in many-body quantum systems, to scalable quantum computers. While these advances are due in large part to the distinct material properties of diamond, the uniqueness of this material also presents difficulties, and there is a growing need for novel materials science techniques for characterization, growth, defect control, and fabrication dedicated to realizing quantum applications with diamond. In this article we identify and discuss the major materials science challenges and opportunities associated with diamond quantum technologies.
