WEBINAR | Engineering Diamond Material with Focused Ion Beam Implantation for Quantum Technologies

Tescan Leading Researchers Webinar Series.

Diamond is rapidly emerging as a key material for quantum technologies, driven by nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers that enable optical readout and spin control with long coherence times at room temperature. Realizing reliable quantum devices, however, requires exceptional control over material purity, strain, isotopic composition, and the precise spatial placement of defects.

In this webinar, Dr. Alexandre Tallaire (CNRS, Institut de Recherche de Chimie Paris) will present how focused ion beam (FIB) implantation enables controlled nitrogen incorporation into diamond to create NV centers, and how FIB structuring around implanted regions supports resonator and photonic concepts essential for quantum applications. The session combines a leading research perspective with a concise technical introduction from Anne Delobbe (CTO, Tescan), highlighting how dedicated implantation workflows on Tescan QuiiN support this work in practice.

Why this webinar is worth your time

  • Understand the key requirements behind “quantum-grade” diamond, including strain control, purity, and ¹²C isotopic enrichment 

  • Learn how FIB implantation is used to precisely position NV centers and generate NV-related fluorescence patterns 

  • See how FIB goes beyond implantation, enabling local structuring to enhance light–matter interaction

  • Gain practical insight into implantation and patterning workflows using Tescan QuiiN 

  • Take away considerations you can apply when designing your own diamond-based quantum experiments

Dr. Alexandre Tallaire

Alexandre TALLAIRE is a CNRS Research Director at Institut de Recherche de Chimie Paris since 2018. He holds a PhD in process engineering from University Paris 13, on diamond synthesis for power electronics. He has worked extensively on studying defects in thin film materials, including nitrides, oxides, and diamond. In the past decade, he got particularly involved in the emerging field of quantum technologies and has contributed to develop several material platforms suitable for this application, including NV-doped diamond films and rare-earth ions in oxide films, mostly using chemical vapour deposition. In 2022, he co-founded the start-up HiQuTe Diamond that aims at commercializing diamond crystals for advanced applications.
