Tiny quantum computer built in a diamond

Tiny quantum computer built in a diamond Created by MG1 on Apr 11, 2012

The experimental field of quantum computing has become fertile ground for abstract but fascinating technology, and a recent paper from Nature is no exception. As part of research on reducing decoherence, or outside interference that affects quantum bits or qubits, a group of scientists has built a quantum computer housed within a diamond. Specifically, a pair of qubits were housed in the diamond's imperfections, and a prototype "nuclear spin" system periodically reset and recoupled them in order to reduce interference. »read more
