Researchers in the US and the Netherlands have moved closer to the next generation of electronics by building a quantum computer inside a diamond.
Quantum computers represent a potential way to create much smaller and faster devices than current digital technology but can suffer from a kind of signal noise called decoherence.
The scientists from the University of Southern California (USC), Iowa State University, the University of California Santa Barbara and Delft University of Technology have developed the first solid-state quantum computer that protects against decoherence.
