PPPL describes molecular-cluster method for screening diamond qubit defects
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory described a computational method for evaluating diamond-based quantum materials on October 13. It treats a cluster of 16–30 atoms around a defect as an isolated molecule, allowing established quantum-chemistry tools to be applied.
