Quantum systems

Degrees of freedom splits the energy levels

In solid state we almost always get Electronic band

Very short coherence time due to interactions with

phonons

The Nitrogen-Vacancy center in diamond

• Diamond is an FCC carbon crystal• There is natural abundance of nitrogen in the crystal• Vacancy is generated using high energy radiation. • The crystal is annealed to trap the vacancies near the

N atoms• The resulting center has C3v symmetry and a spin-1

behavior
