We are now one step closer to quantum computers that utilize diamond wafers. 💎
, too much nitrogen in a diamond disrupts its quantum storage capabilities.
The novel ultra-high-purity diamond contains no more than three parts per billion of nitrogen atoms, as required for quantum applications, such as quantum computers, quantum memory, and quantum sensing devices. Sign up here for freeThe diamond wafers, called Kenzan Diamond, could be used for quantum memory as the ultra-high purity of the diamond allows it to store a whopping 25 exabytes, the equivalent of one billion Blu-Ray discs, of data. were only about four millimeter square.
Diamond wafers are manufactured by growing the crystals on a substrate material, usually a flat surface. In diamond crystal growth technology, nitrogen gas has to be used to obtain a high growth rate, so nitrogen impurities with a concentration of several ppm are mixed into the diamond crystal and cannot be used in a quantum computer., degrading its quality.
Adamant Namiki plans to commercialize Kenzen Diamonds in 2023, while working on doubling the size of the wafers.Stay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
