Sensing and timekeeping using defects in diamonds

Diamond crystals and their defects provide an ideal platform for manipulating and measuring quantum spin states, due to the unique properties of diamond that bring about its transparency, inertness, and thermoelectric stability. These states can be controlled and measured without complex technical requirements, to function as precise environmental probes or made to generate a regular beat like a metronome.

With the increasing availability of synthetic diamonds and a strong understanding of their spins’ quantum dynamics, this technology holds significant potential for the next generation of chip-scale sensing and timing components, to enhance systems for navigation, communication, and metrology which depend on compact and rugged solutions.

Color Center Generation

Our technology is based on synthetically grown diamonds, treated in our labs to incorporate crystal defects with unique quantum properties

Optoelectronic Integration

These diamonds are electronically integrated into custom proprietary chip carriers that facilitate efficient and direct control and measurement of the defect's quantum spin states

Component Innovation

The chips can then be directly integrated into various components for sensing, detection or timing, such as in our chip-scale atomic clock component

The Quantum Diamond Atomic Clock

The first commercially available frequency reference which leverages the exceptional ruggedness of synthetic diamond crystal spin systems to enable exceptional timing holdover in a variety of environments.
