The diamond quantum revolution

Amazing stuff! Comprehensive article! 

E.g. about super sensitive magnetic force sensors. "Using such a bulk magnetometer, a team at Lockheed Martin ... has been developing a diamond magnetometer that can be used as an alternative GPS that does not rely on external signals ... The technology works by using the vector capability of a diamond magnetometer to sense the strength and direction of Earth’s magnetic field."

"Another emerging application is the diamond-based maser ... A breakthrough in 2018 ... demonstrated the world’s first continuous-wave (CW) room-temperature solid-state maser using the NV defect in diamond."


The diamond quantum revolution – Physics World: Diamond has a variety of exciting properties that mean it is being increasingly used in quantum applications, as Matthew Markham and David Twitchen explain
