For the first time, physicists have carried out a computational operation between two diamond qubits in separate rooms.

Two tiny diamonds each trapped an atom-qubit. Then light was shone on them, and the atoms, though sitting in different devices, began to dance in sync. One 'called' the other over optical fiber, and together they performed a quantum computation. Thus, distant cities could acquire a single quantum brain.

🎯 Natural carbon contains only 1% of the needed isotope carbon-13, so diamonds are grown with an artificially increased fraction of this 'quantum' atom for experiments.

🎬 Science fiction promises teleportation of objects, but the real quantum version only transfers information about an atom's state—as if you copied a song file without sending the player itself.
