Designer defects in diamond for solid state quantum networks

该项目旨在开发一种钻石中的人造原子，可以连接到网络中的其他节点。在当今的信息经济中，网络连接和数据分发变得越来越重要。彩色钻石中发光的微小人造原子可以利用激光和微波在网络中接收、存储和发送信息。因为它们在单个原子和光子的水平上工作，所以它们可以利用量子怪异来实现即使是传统互联网上的超级计算机也不可能实现的壮举。预计拟议的设备将使构建超越现有基础设施限制的技术变得更容易，从而满足量子网络尚未满足的核心要求。

This project aims to develop an artificial atom in diamond that can connect to other nodes in a network. Network connectivity and data distribution are increasingly important in today's information economy. Tiny glowing artificial atoms in coloured diamonds can receive, store and send information in a network using laser light and microwaves. Because they work at the level of individual atoms and photons, they can use quantum-weirdness to achieve feats impossible even for supercomputers on the classical internet. The proposed device is expected to make it easier to construct technologies that move beyond the limitations of existing infrastructure thus satisfying the unmet core requirements for a quantum network.
