The 29Si isotope is present at 4.67 percent in natural silicon and is the only stable isotope of silicon that carries a nuclear spin limiting
the qubit coherence time.
Not exact matches
In diamond at room temperature, Maurer et al. (p. 1283) show that a spin - based
qubit system comprised of an isotopic impurity (13C) in the vicinity of a color defect (a nitrogen - vacancy center) could be manipulated to have a
coherence time exceeding one second.
These
qubits, taken individually, have demonstrated world - record
coherence times.
Since 2012, when the first
qubits that relied on electron spins were reported, the introduction of isotopically purified 28Si has led to significant enhancement of the spin
coherence time.
