When it comes to qubits, diamonds with flaws are actually preferred. đź’Ž
Known as nitrogen-vacancy centers, these atomic-scale "defects" can be controlled and used for ultrasensitive quantum sensors.

Fast, high-fidelity qubit control is essential for scalable #quantum computing, but conventional techniques often generate heat and degrade coherence.
In a @NatureComms study, #C2QA researchers demonstrated a method that overcomes these limitations.

#C2QA researchers demonstrated entanglement distillation on @IBM #quantum hardware, showing how noisy quantum links can be strengthened.
Their results in @PhysRevResearch provide practical guidance for using this method in modular quantum systems.
