Researchers from Harvard, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the University of Chicago have enhanced the fluorescent light emission of diamond nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres, a move said to have promise for quantum computing. NV centres contain an unpaired electron that can store information using spin. The electron's spin...
