Ferroelectric Modulation of Quantum Emitters in Monolayer WS.

Quantum photonics promises significant advances in secure communications, metrology, sensing, and information processing/computation. Single-photon sources are fundamental to this endeavor. However, the lack of high-quality single photon sources remains a significant obstacle.

Arrays of Si vacancies in 4H-SiC produced by focused Li ion beam implantation.

Point defects in SiC are an attractive platform for quantum information and sensing applications because they provide relatively long spin coherence times, optical spin initialization, and spin-dependent fluorescence readout in a fabrication-friendly semiconductor. The ability to precisely place these defects at the optimal location in a host material with nano-scale accuracy is desirable for integration of these quantum systems with traditional electronic and photonic structures. Here, we demonstrate the precise spatial patterning of arrays of silicon vacancy ([Formula: see text]) emitters in an epitaxial 4H-SiC (0001) layer through mask-less focused ion beam implantation of Li.

Pharmacist intervention amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic: from direct patient care to telemedicine.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has placed enormous pressures on the Canadian healthcare system. Patients are expected to stay home in order to contain the spread of the virus, but understandably have numerous questions and concerns about their health. With physical distancing being of utmost importance during the pandemic, much of healthcare has been forced to move online or over the telephone.
