Silicon-carbide (SiC) can provide a platform for on chip integrated photonics which enhances favorable material nonlinear optical properties and thus enhance single photon emission of a color center. In this review, researchers summarize all necessary elements required to establish spin-photon interface based on color centers as spin qubits in SiC-on-insulator.

Before joining the Spark Photonics Foundation, I had never heard about photonics or realized how important it is to the modern world. I’ve since discovered I’m not alone—many others are in the same boat. That’s why Sean Nelan and I have been collaborating on behalf of the Spark Photonics Foundation and Spark Photonics to create resources like "The Power of Photonics." This presentation is designed to make integrated photonics accessible to everyone, breaking down complex concepts into clear, engaging insights. It explores how PICs work, their real-world applications, and the incredible potential they hold for the future. We’re passionate about sharing this knowledge with students, educators, and professionals alike, inspiring curiosity and innovation along the way.
