Characterization of the Spin and Crystal Field Hamiltonian of Erbium Dopants in Silicon
Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.Erbium in silicon is a promising platform for scalable quantum information processing, as it combines optically addressable spins in the telecom regime with the mature, wafer‐scale nanofabrication techniques available for silicon. In this work, the point symmetry and magnetic interaction of two particularly promising erbium sites are investigated.
