Composition
- qubit: 1
Conceptual anchors
- divincenzo-criteria is still the right scorecard here, but the non-obvious point is that NV centers address criteria 6 and 7 without giving up room-temperature operation.
- coherence-time-hierarchy matters because NV is best understood as a layered register: fast electron-spin control on top of much longer-lived nearby nuclear-spin memory.
Placement rule
- Keep
nv-center-qubitas the anchor when the question is, “what is the most mature room-temperature defect-spin qubit with a real networking story?” - If the comparison shifts toward photon indistinguishability, cleaner optical lines, or telecom-native interconnects, hand off to spin-photon-moc rather than overloading this family.
- This MOC should therefore stay the historical and systems anchor for defect centers, while spin-photon-moc covers the colder networking-optimized descendants.
