Quantum Brilliance: Quantum Accelerator

2021: Quantum Accelerator Announcement from Quantum Brilliance Operating at Room Temperature

At the end of March 2021, Quantum Brilliance introduced, according to the company, the world's first diamond-based quantum accelerator, which can operate at room temperature.

The problem with quantum computing is that qubits are incredibly unstable and must be stored in extreme conditions for proper operation. To overcome these limitations, Google, IBM and Rigetti have created quantum computers that operate at extremely low temperatures, and IonQ uses captured ions as the basis for their equipment. It is proven that all these solutions work, but they are not completely practical.

Quantum Brilliance states that its quantum diamond-based accelerators are better than other systems because they do not require such extreme conditions. This technology, developed in collaboration with the Australian National University in Canberra, is based on the properties of a nitrogen vacancy center in diamond, which helps protect a quantum computer from the noise of thermal vibrations and magnetic impurities that can destabilize qubits. As a result, Quantum Brilliance claims on its website, diamond-based quantum accelerators have the longest coherence time among all solid electron spins at room temperature.

The company said it will soon install the first diamond quantum accelerator at the Pawsey Computer Center in Australia to demonstrate the capabilities of its equipment. Thus, Pawsey will become one of the first supercomputer centers in the world where its own quantum computer will be located. Currently, most quantum computing services offered by companies such as IBM can only be accessed through the cloud.^[1]
