The world's first diamond-powered portable quantum computer works at room temperature and can even be plugged into…
- The system connects directly to a standard alternating-current power outlet
- Sulfur co-implantation gave engineers precise control over individual diamond qubits
- Single-qubit fidelity reportedly reached 99.98%
German startup Saxon Q has launched the world's first portable diamond-powered quantum computer operating at room temperature without requiring complex cryogenic cooling equipment.
The system fits inside a standard server rack, connects directly to a conventional alternating-current power outlet, and supports configurations reaching 128 qubits.
The company says larger 512-qubit systems will become available next year, while its long-term roadmap aims to exceed 10,000 qubits after 2030.
Synthetic diamonds replace cryogenic cooling with a different quantum approach
The system relies on nitrogen-vacancy defects created inside synthetic diamonds, where nitrogen atoms occupy positions beside empty spaces within the crystal structure to function as quantum bits.
Scientists manipulate these qubits using lasers and microwave pulses, allowing them to represent quantum states extending beyond conventional binary computing methods.
