This study identifies a specific atomic defect in zinc oxide that functions as a high-fidelity spin qubit at room temperature, offering a potential pathway toward more practical quantum hardware. By computationally pinpointing the molybdenum-oxygen-vacancy complex, researchers provide new material targets for scalable quantum computing architectures without requiring extreme cryogenic cooling.
SKKU Researchers Identify Room-Temperature “Spin Qubit” Defect in Zinc Oxide Semiconductors

The computational workflow of defect candidate search with critical parameters. An international research team led by Professor Hosung Seo at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU)—in collaboration with researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University of Washington—has computationally identified a novel atomic defect in zinc oxide (ZnO) capable of functioning as a high-fidelity "spin qubit."
