TLDR
In this paper, the physics of the nitrogen vacancy and other defect centers from the perspective of single defect center spectroscopy were discussed, where the electron spin wave function hyperfine coupling to close nuclei leads to a splitting in the spectrum which allows for optically detected electron nuclear double resonance.Abstract:
The nitrogen vacancy and some nickel related defects in diamond can be observed as single quantum systems in diamond by their fluorescence. The fabrication of single colour centres occurs via generation of vacancies or via controlled nitrogen implantation in the case of the nitrogen vacancy (NV) centre. The NV centre shows an electron paramagnetic ground and optically excited state. As a result electron and nuclear magnetic resonance can be carried out on single defects. Due to the localized nature of the electron spin wavefunction hyperfine coupling to nuclei more than one lattice constant away from the defect as dominated by dipolar interaction. As a consequence the coupling to close nuclei leads to a splitting in the spectrum which allows for optically detected electron nuclear double resonance. The contribution discusses the physics of the NV and other defect centre from the perspective of single defect centre spectroscopy.read more

Quantum theory, the Church-Turing principle and the universal quantum computer
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that underlying the Church-Turing hypothesis there is an implicit physical assertion: every finitely realizable physical system can be perfectly simulated by a universal model computing machine operating by finite means.
