About
Element Six is a UK synthetic diamond technology company established in 1946 that has become the world's leading supplier of synthetic diamond materials for quantum technologies. It produces ultra-pure single crystal diamonds with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers for quantum sensing, quantum computing, and quantum communication. Its specialized diamond substrates, quantum-grade materials, and custom diamond solutions enable quantum sensors, quantum memory devices, and quantum photonics components used by research institutions and quantum technology companies worldwide, all relying on the unique properties of diamond's quantum defects and its exceptional material characteristics. In September 2025, Element Six partnered with IonQ to produce quantum-grade synthetic diamond films. Update 2026-06-16: Element Six and Orbray established a reproducible process for manufacturing 3-inch wafer-scale single crystal diamond.
