  • Publication number: 20220364268
    Abstract: A method generates at least one deterministic F-center in a diamond layer. By implanting a dopant in the diamond layer and incorporating at least one foreign atom in the diamond layer by low-energy bombardment for the formation of the F-center in a second step, conversion rates of greater than 70% can be achieved. This is a significant increase in relation to undoped diamond, in which the conversion rates are only around 6%. Via doping with a donor, such as phosphorous, oxygen or sulphur, a good conversion into negatively charged F-centers can be achieved, which are used for Qubit applications.

  • Publication number: 20220318661
    Abstract: A method of addressing at least one qubit to be addressed in a set of two or more qubits includes exposing the qubit to be addressed to an electromagnetic field; and at a same time exposing another qubit of the set of two or more qubits to an electromagnetic counter field in such a way that the electromagnetic field has no effect on the other qubit or that the electromagnetic field has a different effect on the other qubit than on the qubit to be addressed. A device for performing the method includes the set of two or more qubits and electromagnetic sources for generating the electromagnetic field and electromagnetic counter field.

  • Patent number: 11391793
    Abstract: A device for generating and controlling a magnetic field strength and a method for generating and controlling a magnetic field strength are disclosed. The generation is very stable and precise. Preferably, reference values of physical variable can be generated relatively simply and economically. In addition, magnetic flux densities can be measured with high resolution and, in particular, highly robustly. The device and the method can also be used for transmitting information, in particular for ultra-wide band communication. The required devices can be very small, in particular miniature, and mobile.

  • Patent number: 8311534
    Abstract: A method of providing telecommunication services in next generation networks involves at least one landline terminal (3). The terminal (3) has a home network (1) and is capable of registering via another network (2) so as to be used in the other network while charging telecommunication costs to the home network. Advantageously, the home network (1) is a private network, for example a next generation corporate network, while the other network (2) is a public network. An interface (4) between the home network (1) and the other network (2) may be constituted by a network-network interface.
