[1] Cappellaro moved to the United States for her graduate studies, where she worked alongside David G. Cory on quantum computation.
[3] She completed her postdoctoral training at the Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Harvard University.
When an NV qubit interacts with a spin defect, it loses its coherent state, and can no longer perform quantum operations.
[8] Subsequent microwave pulses and applied magnetic fields can resonantly excite nearby spin defects, ultimately revealing their location.
[8] Cappellaro showed that these defects can then be leveraged as additional qubits, which can be briefly entangled with one another to achieve a coherent quantum state.
