Optical Information Processing with Diamond

在过去四年里，将量子力学应用于信息处理实用设备的想法呈爆炸性增长，这是一个世界性的现象。一种具有许多理想量子特性的领先材料是钻石。我们的目标是以我们在钻石基础研究方面的广泛专业知识为基础，设计、制造和分析由钻石制成的新型量子设备。我们将寻求获得金光闪闪的奖品，即建造能够吸收、存储和重新发射单光子的钻石设备，并将其革命性地应用于信息存储和处理。

The explosive growth in ideas for applications of quantum mechanics to practical devices for information processing has been a worldwide phenomenon of the past 4 years. A leading material which promises many of the desirable quantum properties is diamond. We aim to build on our extensive expertise in fundamental diamond research to design, fabricate and analyse novel quantum devices made from diamond. We will seek to attain the glittering prize of constructing diamond devices that will absorb, store and re-emit single light-photons with revolutionary applications to information storage and processing.
