Room Temperature Diamond Integrated Chip Quantum Accelerators Installed At Oak Ridge National Lab

Quantum Brilliance’s is developing diamond quantum accelerators that will have over 50 qubits and outperform CPUs/GPUs of comparable size, weight and power in important applications. Quantum Brilliance believe their diamond integrated chips can be mass produced in the millions and can work along side regular chips as useful accelerators and sensors. They could also have versions that can work as global positioning without using satellites.

Oak Ridge National Lab installed Quantum Brilliance computer system at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. Lab staff will use ORNL’s first on-site, commercial quantum computer cluster to explore ways to integrate this emerging technology into classical high-performance computing infrastructures and tap its potential for massive computational power gains. One of Quantum Brilliance’s key inventions is a ‘bottom-up’ atomically-precise fabrication technique for diamond that circumvents limitations through designer surface chemistry and lithography. The technique draws inspiration from the atom-scale fabrication techniques for silicon that were pioneered in Australia. Quantum Brilliance aims to utilize nitrogen vacancies in diamond to create qubits, offering a more compact and power-efficient alternative to cryogenic quantum systems. A 2022 collaboration between a Japanese jewelry firm and academic researchers led to a new method for producing ultra-pure 2-inch diamond wafers. By parallelizing over many quantum accelerators, rather than just one quantum mainframe, QM/MM simulations of systems of many interacting molecules becomes possible. Thus, enabling a dramatic increase in the size, accuracy and scope of MD simulations. For example, the study of multiple reactions and conformation changes within a system of biochemicals in drug design or the impact of reaction byproducts during chemistry at a solid-liquid interface in catalysis design.
