Difficulty in maintaining the quantum state of subatomic particles is a major challenge in developing quantum computers. Princeton researchers have managed to maintain quantum data through use of diamonds infused with two carbon atoms per every silicon atom. These ‘flawed’ diamonds ‘could serve as quantum repeaters for networks based on qubits’ just as current networking systems have repeaters to keep signals strong between sender and receiver.
