Oak Ridge is using diamonds to marry quantum, classical computers
Can the world's hardest mineral help move quantum/classical networks from
conceptual pilots to a real capability?

Computers with components made of diamond are being installed at Oak Ridge
National Laboratory in Tennessee in a bid to marry quantum information
technologies with classical computers, the lab announced on Tuesday.
Quantum science promises advances in fields from cryptography to chemistry, but
realizing that promise depends on finding a way to connect quantum and
classical systems.
?By hosting a Quantum Brilliance system on site, we?ll be maturing the real
mechanics of hybrid computing ? co?scheduling, end?to?end performance tuning,
data and workflow orchestration, workforce development and more ? so we can
eventually move HPC-quantum integration from a conceptual pilot to a fully
embedded capability within leadership computing,? said Ashley Barker, who
directs Oak Ridge's Leadership Computing Facility Program.
Quantum Brilliance?s products use synthetic diamonds to ease the challenges of
today's quantum systems, such as external noise that introduces errors into
quantum calculations.
?Diamond is extremely hard, so even at room temperature and atmospheric
pressure, there isn?t sufficient thermal energy to generate the vibrations that
would typically disrupt qubit coherence,? said CEO Mark Luo.
?This intrinsic stability allows our QPUs to function without the complexity
and cost of cryogenics, laser and vacuum systems. This allowed us to engineer a
revolutionary QPU solution that operates efficiently at room temperature while
dramatically reducing size, weight and power consumption.?
Oak Ridge is among the national labs working on quantum systems with companies
and other federal entities.

ANU is going one better, making diamond quantum chips for defence AI!
