Electricity Reads Out Diamond Spins ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Photoelectric detection of single spins in diamond by optically controlled discharge of long-lived trap states"
Scientists have found a way to read the quantum state of microscopic defects in diamond using electrical pulses — without complex optical setups.

Diamond could become the heart of a quantum computer. Scientists have found a way to read its quantum memory not with light, but with electricity — like a battery. Hidden charges store spin information for hours, ready to deliver it on demand. This is a step toward quantum chips the size of a fingernail.
🎯 Electron traps in diamond are so stable that the charge stored in them can last for years — far longer than most laboratory instruments operate.
🎬 The idea of storing information in crystals is familiar from Superman: his Fortress of Solitude used crystals as a database. Diamond quantum chips are almost the same thing, only in reality.
