Why you should be interested in the silicon vacancy centre in diamond — •Lachlan J. Rogers and Fedor Jelezko — Institute for Quantum Optics and IQST, Ulm University, Ulm, Germany

The negative silicon vacancy (SiV⁻) colour centre in diamond is currently experiencing a flurry of research attention. It has emerged from comparative obscurity to become one of only three diamond colour centres that enable coherent manipulation of individual spins. This poster reviews the recent breakthroughs that established SiV as an exceptional source of indistinguishable single-photons, and then as an optically-accessible spin qubit system. The simultaneous presence of these two abilities is the main reason for you to be interested in the SiV centre. If you’ve wondered what all the fuss is about then now is the perfect time to get "up to speed" on the silicon vacancy centre!
