Diamonds arent just a girls best friend, they can help in Quantum computing also!
If put properly together, it could finally create working quantum computers within closer reach.
One of the biggest challenges of quantum computing is maintaining stability.
In other areas, stability can be achieved through feedback control.
According to PCWorld, this new research describes a feedback-control system for maintaining quantum superposition that requires no measurement.
Instead, it uses what is known as a nitrogen-vacancy center in a diamond.
Because the controller is quantum, I dont need to do a measurement to know whats going on.
A pure diamond consists of carbon atoms arranged in a regular structure.
Over there, lies the value for quantum computing.
Microwaves are then emitted that puts the NV centers electronic spin into superposition.
Afterwards, radio-frequency radiation puts the nitrogen nucleus into a specified spin state.
