The diamond quantum computer for education is a product independently developed and produced by the Hefei-based quantum technology company CIQTEK.

The product serves as a useful scientific instrument in teaching quantum computing, which will help alleviate the talent shortage in the cutting-edge field of quantum information technology.

Based on the spin magnetic resonance of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond and controlling basic physical quantities such as optics, electricity and magnetism, it implements quantum manipulation and readouts of NV center spins, which enables the demonstration of basic concepts of quantum computing, such as qubits, quantum gates and quantum algorithms, according to the company's product description.

It can be used to carry out quantum mechanics and quantum computing experimental courses, modern physics in classrooms and NV center scientific research. It supports a variety of basic experiments related to quantum computing as well as the development of more teaching contents such as quantum precise measurement and optically detected magnetic resonance. It helps provide a complete set of solutions related to the quantum computing curriculum including laboratory construction, course handouts, video lectures, courseware, demonstrations and training.

The product works in ambient conditions without the need of cryogenic environments, which makes the operating cost nearly nothing. The desktop design makes it easy to adapt to classrooms, laboratories and other environments.

The diamond quantum computer for education consists of a microwave module, optical module, power module as well as control and acquisition module. [Photo/WeChat ID: hefeigaoxinfabu]
