The world is just about to leap into quantum technology 2.0, promising a performance boost for existing and completely new functionalities and devices. The basis of this development is an in-depth understanding of the materials used for quantum devices.
Therefore, in this publication, we have examined the interaction of two fundamental properties of the material platform KTP, the connection between ion transport within the crystal and the so-called gray tracking. This investigation improves the profound understanding of the material KTP and thus enables new applications. At the same time, the material processing is improving, which immensely increases the quality of quantum devices.
