Nanodiamonds read quantum data
Quantum computing could soon become a mainstream reality, with the news that nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamonds could be used to construct vital components for quantum computers. Before now it has been impossible to read optically-written information from quantum computers electronically. Now, using a graphene layer, a team of scientists headed by Professor Alexander Holleitner of the Technische Universität München (TUM) has implemented a read unit that seems to work.
