Atomic defects leave telltale optical fingerprints in quantum material

Phys.org · WORLD · Science · 11/9/2026, 2:40:09 PM

The tiny atomic defects so important for future quantum technologies can be difficult to spot. Fortunately, they leave behind some clues. The defects can alter how a material responds to light, producing a distinctive optical fingerprint that scientists can measure. The challenge is figuring out which fingerprints belong to which defects.
