Spin Qubits: Sensing Heartbeats to Dark Matter – with Benjamin Pingault of Argonne National Laboratory

The word “foundry” might make you think of large machines pouring metal into molds, but Argonne National Labs has a Quantum Foundry that implants individual atoms, like silicon, into materials such as diamond. The resulting spin qubits are optically active and can use photons to communicate. We can expect spin qubits to help interconnect systems, which could help us achieve distributed quantum computing, but they also could be used for everything from room-temperature biological sensors to durable, space-based dark matter detectors.
