, Nov. 13 -- A new computational technique developed by a researcher at the US Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) could speed up the discovery of diamond materials for future quantum computers and highly sensitive sensors.

The method simplifies the process of identifying promising quantum materials by treating tiny imperfections in diamonds as individual molecules, allowing scientists to predict their behaviour more quickly and accurately.

The findings, recently published in ACS Central Science, have already revealed potential new candidates for quantum computing and sensing technologies.

One major challenge in quantum technology is finding materials capable of maintaining delicate quantum states under pr...
