FIGURE 1. AI-generated image depicts the advantage of the stable, telecom-ready CN center defect complex in silicon (right) over the more fragile T center.
Newly discovered CN complex provides a more durable quantum defect that may accelerate advanced quantum technologies based on silicon.

FIGURE 1. A superconducting quantum processor is not only a chip. It is a cold signal system that must move control, readout, timing, and diagnostic information through a tight refrigerator without adding too much heat or clutter.

FIGURE 1. Comparison of laser frequency deviation: The unlocked laser (gray) exhibits significant environmental drift, while the analog lock (blue) suppresses most of this noise but is limited by hardware-induced drift and component tolerances. The digital implementation (green) leverages high-speed DSP to achieve a near-zero error signal and provide the superior stability required.
