Nano-Engineered Synthetic Diamond

Caption

Using synthetic diamond, Element Six and Harvard University have set a new room temperature quantum information storage record of more than one second -- a thousand times longer than previously recorded. These findings may lead to extremely powerful quantum computers in the future, and novel sensors based on quantum processes in the near term.
