Funded Activity Summary

Designer defects in diamond for solid state quantum networks. 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.
