Abstract
Here, the authors provide a complete picture of the spin-dependent optical response of the boron vacancy center in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), which is currently garnering considerable attention for the design of two-dimensional quantum sensing units integrable in van der Waals heterostructures.
