Quantum Diamond Laboratory

Building on its more than 70 years of pioneering the study of fusion energy, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has added a new field to its research portfolio — quantum information science.

On March 11, PPPL opened its new Quantum Diamond Lab (QDL), a space devoted to studying and refining the processes involved in using plasma, the electrically charged fourth state of matter, to create high-quality diamond material for quantum information science applications. Scientists around the world are exploring quantum diamond as a way to harness the properties of atoms and particles for a variety of tasks, including performing calculations far faster than today’s computers can, enabling secure communications and measuring temperature and magnetic fields with unparalleled precision.

The Quantum Diamond Lab contains machines that use plasma to create diamond material infused with other elements that allow scientists to create a structure known as a quantum bit, or qubit. Qubits could enable a range of jaw-dropping applications, including breaking unbreakable codes, measuring the temperature of microscopic structures inside cells and helping diagnose cancer.
