Has anyone looked deeply in the NER control of Antimony nuclei out of NSW? researchgate.net/publication/…

On it's surface, NER seems like the holy grail for qubits, with this having major implications. I'm curious if any of the vets here see this as potentially being a significant breakthrough.

BTW, this was published in Nature ( nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2057-7 ), I just linked the open access preprint.

@JonathanTrousdale I haven't read this, but I've heard talks from people doing things that sound vaguely similar (i.e. spins in silicon) before - reading the abstract, my (first) question is whether or not multiple qubit gates would be easy or even possible? My second is possibly kind of similar, but based on a different perspective of getting dots to interact/produce photons of the same wavelength: can you consistently manufacture them to the same standard scalably?

Aside from that, yeah, silicon QCs are potentially really interesting. No-one's managed to scale anything up yet though

It does appear to get over the issues of NMR though - arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph?9906008

@Mithrandir24601 Thanks. Yeah, I'm not sure how gate design works in this context. Presumably some of Microsoft's spintronics work would be applicable, but they're not very transparent as to what they're actually doing.

Also, it's kind of funny, these guys in NSW were actually trying to do NMR, but one of their leads opened so they were generating an E-Field instead of an H-Field by accident... and one thing led to another.
