A tin vacancy qubit is formed when two carbon atoms in a diamond are replaced by a single tin atom. This tin center has exceptional optical properties as it emits photons in the telecom wavelength ...

Stanford collaborators at the Q-NEXT quantum center amp up the signal from tin atoms embedded in diamond, opening possibilities for quantum networking. Q-NEXT is a U.S. Department of Energy quantum ...

Their findings underscored the superior activity and selectivity of tin-based catalysts, such as Sn−N 4 −C single-atom catalysts (SAC) and polyatomic Sn, for HCOOH production. These catalysts ...
