Abstract

Abstract: Color centers are versatile systems that generate quantum light, sense magnetic fields and produce spin‐photon entanglement. We review how these properties have pushed the limits of fundamental knowledge in a variety of scientific disciplines, from rejecting local‐realistic theories to sensing superconducting phase transitions. In the light of recent progress in material processing and device fabrication, we identify new opportunities for interdisciplinary fundamental discoveries in physics and geochemistry. Abstract : This review showcases the fundamental discoveries across a variety of disciplines enabled by the color center platforms. The progress in material processing and the nanofabrication of photonic devices in diamond and silicon carbide are presented as tools for deepening the understanding of quantum physics, superconductivity and geochemical phenomena.
