Buy Online: The Potential of Synthetic Diamond in Quantum Computing discussed by Element Six Researcher at International Conference
Senior Researcher Daniel Twitchen has been invited to present a paper on the work being carried out at Element Six on synthetic diamond for quantum applications at the XII International Conference on Quantum Optics and Quantum Information. Held between 20th and 23rd September 2008 in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, the conference is jointly organised by four academic institutes: the Lithuanian Physical Society, the Belarussian Physical Society, the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
The conference brings together scientists and engineers from diverse scientific fields, including optics, computer science and solid state, atomic and molecular physics, who make active contributions to the field of quantum optics and quantum information. The first of the biennial conferences was run in 1986 and has grown in size with each successive event in line with the increasing interest in the development of practical solutions to fulfil the potential of quantum optics and computing.
As the leading company involved with the synthesis of diamond, Element Six is exploring the potential of diamond for this application. Through Daniel Twitchen and his team, Element Six is involved in a three year international research programme funded by the European Union called “Engineered Quantum Information in Nanostructured Diamond” or “EQUIND”. This programme has the aim of establishing whether specific optical features identified in diamond can be used as the basic elements for quantum computers and single-photon sources. At the XII International Conference on Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Daniel Twitchen will focus on the aspects of diamond synthesis that impact the development of such optical features.
