Defect centers in diamond are now being used as sensitive quantum probes for a variety of applications.
Researchers have been able to store and transmit bits of quantum information using a diamond containing specially-designed silicon vacancies.
Scientists have succeeded in coupling together the specific defects in two separate diamonds, which could lead to novel quantum technology.
