Briefings

A 2026 study published in October 2026 describes how laser-induced crystal defects, known as vacancies, function as qubits for quantum devices. Researchers fire ultrafast laser pulses into materials to create these imperfections, which then serve as the fundamental building blocks for quantum information processing. The evidence indicates that these vacancies are not merely flaws but can actively behave as qubits, suggesting a new approach to quantum device fabrication. The study provides a snapshot of this mechanism but does not specify the exact materials used or the precise energy levels of the vacancies.

Key points
