The goal of this project is to create, manipulate and control the atomic defects in van der Waals materials, such as Vb- centers in hexagonal boron nitride. These defects form effective two-level systems (qubit) and will be used as nanoscale quantum sensors for magnetic and electric field. The student will prepare the van der Waals material and heterostructure, and use quantum control protocols to identify and benchmark the qubits. As a stretch goal, new sensing protocols will be developed and tested using the correlation of multiple defects. The students will learn the basics in quantum science and engineering, and develop the technical skills that could be applied to the rapidly growing quantum information field.
