June 6, 2019: QuantumX, in partnership with the Institute for Nano-engineered Systems and the Northwest Quantum Nexus, is hosting Jeremey Hilton, Senior Vice President at the quantum computing company D-Wave Systems.
A team led by UW Professor Peter Pauzauskie discovered that they can use extremely high pressure and temperature to introduce other elements into nanodiamonds, making them potentially useful in quantum communications and quantum sensing. This work was done in collaboration with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and published in Science Advances.
The Northwest Quantum Nexus was unveiled during a two-day summit at the UW, an event that included scientists and engineers from the three keystone institutions, as well as potential partners in academia and industry from across the Pacific Northwest.
