Point defects such as diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers are the most promising candidates for solid-state quantum devices. In order to integrate such point defects, it is essential to develop an instrument that can irradiate the dopant atoms one-by-one with an Angstrom positional accuracy. In this paper, we present the new prospect of the one-by-one irradiation method for creating the quantum defects.
