QF Fellow and Associate seminar: Lillian Hughes

Creating Coherent Spin Systems in PECVD grown Diamond for Enhanced Quantum Sensing and Simulation

Lillian received a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Physics with a concentration in Chemistry from the University of Richmond in 2019, after which she joined the Materials Department at UCSB. Lillian is co-advised by Ania Jayich and Kunal Mukherjee and studies the growth of high-quality diamond for hosting solid state qubits like the nitrogen-vacancy center. In this talk, she will present recent work developing growth and defect engineering on the (111) diamond plane for applications in quantum metrology.
