Fault-tolerant quantum computer memory in diamond

A research team from Yokohama National University is exploring quantum memory that is resilient against operational or environmental errors. To scale up a quantum computer based on superconducting qubits, scientists need to operate under a […]

Direct printing of nanodiamonds at the quantum level

Diamond nanocrystals, namely nanodiamonds, which host point defects such as nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, are a promising quantum material. A team of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has developed a nano-precision printing method for nitrogen-vacancy […]

Coherence of a charge stabilised tin-vacancy spin in diamond

Quantum information processing (QIP) with solid state spin qubits strongly depends on the efficient initialisation of the qubit’s desired charge state. While the negatively charged tin-vacancy (SnV−) centre in diamond has emerged as an excellent […]

Revisiting Quantum Mechanics foundations

Since the beginning of quantum physics, how light moves and interacts with matter around it has mostly been described and understood mathematically through the lens of its energy. In 1900, Max Planck used energy to […]
