Photon-photon and spin-spin Entanglement using Diamond-based impurity Elements: Silicon, Tin And Lead

Project description

Diamond defects – a prime building block for quantum networks

Backed by the laws of quantum physics, quantum networks promise revolutionary capabilities in information processing and the advent of secure communication. The key hardware element of a quantum network is the node that communicates with other nodes by exchanging 'flying qubits'. These mobile qubits move along a chain of quantum processors that store the qubits’ states. The quantum spin property of nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamonds is a promising candidate for flying qubits. The EU-funded PEDESTAL project will address fundamental issues that prevent the scale up of diamond-based quantum devices. The project will create a quantum node hardware prototype based on diamond group IV defects able to sustain a multi-purpose quantum network that implements quantum communications and computing simultaneously.
