Who knew that the stone on your engagement ring could be scientifically fascinating? It is amazing to think of the endless possibilities that diamonds hold in the field of quantum computing – a true amalgamation of science and beauty. 

Interestingly, experts and scientists will tell you that we have just about scratched the surface so far.

The use of diamonds in quantum has been of interest to researchers and physicists for quite some time now. The unique carbon lattice structure of diamonds has made it an ‘ideal solid-state quantum platform’ for researchers. Diamonds have the ability to preserve quantum states like ‘spin’ for several milliseconds, allowing scientists to record and use these states for calculations and data storage.
