HBN Defects: Tiny Tweaks, Big Quantum Leaps
Scientists have found a way to shape the tiniest imperfections inside hexagonal boron nitride, a material that can act like a quantum computer’s building blocks. By shooting argon ions at the crystal, they create missing boron or nitrogen atoms—defects that can host quantum bits. The trick is to
