Diamond Quantum Technology

2:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Quantum Brilliance is building room-temperature, diamond-based quantum technology that works anywhere — no extreme cooling, vacuum chambers or complex lasers. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) diamond platform shares core building blocks — diamond substrates, nanofabrication, control electronics, etc. — across both quantum sensing and quantum computing. We're pursuing sensing first: NV diamond sensors deliver real-world value today in navigation/ defence/ dual-use civilian applications, fast-tracking manufacturing maturity. Every advance in diamond fabrication and control precision strengthens our computing roadmap too — one platform, two markets, compounding synergy.
