Sumukh Vaidya's research focuses on quantum sensing using 'spin defects' — tiny atomic-scale imperfections in materials that behave like quantum bits (qubits) and can detect magnetic fields, spins, or other subtle physical signals. Much of this work centers on hexagonal boron nitride and related layered ('van der Waals') materials, exploring how their spin properties can be controlled, read out optically, and used to build sensitive quantum sensors and detectors that could operate near room temperature.
