Quantum Information Processing with Diamond: Principles and Applications

Diamond nitrogen vacancy (NV) colour centres have the potential to transform quantum information science into a practical technology. Part one provides an introduction to quantum information science, including characterization tools designed to test and measure the properties of diamond materials. Part two reviews research on developing diamond quantum information processing. The final part of the book looks at emerging applications in such areas as sensors, neural circuits and superconductors. Brings together the topics of diamond and quantum information processingLooks at applications such as quantum computing, neural circuits and in vivo monitoring of processes at the molecular scale INDICE: Part 1 Principles and fabrication techniques: Principles of quantum information processing (QIP) using diamond; Principles of quantum cryptography/quantum key distribution (QKD) using attenuated light pulses; Ion implantation in diamond for quantum information processing (QIP): doping and damaging; Characterisation of single defects in diamond in the development of quantum devices; Nanofabrication of photonic devices from single crystal diamond for quantum information processing (QIP). Part 2 Experimental demonstrations and emerging applications of quantum information processing (QIP) using diamond: Diamond-based single photon sources and their application in quantum key distribution; Using defect centres in diamonds to build photonic and quantum optical devices; Spin-photon entanglement in diamond for quantum optical networks; Quantum microscopy using nanodiamonds; Diamond magnetic sensors; Hybridization of quantum systems: coupling nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to superconducting circuits; Neural circuits and in vivo monitoring using diamond. Part 3 The future: Promising directions in diamond technologies for quantum information processing (QIP) and sensing.
