Special Diamond The key to a quantum sensor is completely open
It is quantum calculations Either a distant dream or an imminent fact depending on who you were asking. And while much of this year’s quantum village is focused on emerging research and threat analysis at the DefCon Security Conference in Las Vegas, Victoria Komaran and Mark Carnery are also trying to make available a available quantum technology available to hackers and anyone else.
In a DFCON main conversation on Saturday, the couple offers an affordable open source quantum sensor that can perform a variety of applications, from medical technologies to GPS options. And all this is used with a specific, yet affordable diamond with specific atomic properties. The design of the first generation depending on the suppliers and the shipping time can be raised at about $ 120 to $ 160. The second version that Kumaran and Carney offer this weekend can be made for even less, and the couple say they publish this third version based on community testing and entrances that hope to cost only $ 50 to build.
Quantum sensors detect very minor changes in magnetic and electrical fields and make it possible to measure very accurate measurements. For example, atomic watches that maintain almost the right time are quantum sensors that have been used for decades. For researchers and enthusiasts, more information about quantum measurement, but it has prevented much from entering. Therefore, a relatively affordable and affordable project, “unpleasant gem” creates a real opportunity for most people to build their quantum sensors and discover this technology.
“You can do things that you couldn’t do before, such as using quantum sensors to start making MRI -style portable devices that can be used in all different countries,” Komaran said. “These are the flawed diamonds, the artificial diamonds that are the cheapest cuts you can get. I think there is something a little poetic that the diamonds have this tool.”
Many of the components needed for the quantum sensor are computational components outside the shelf, but diamonds should be something known as “nitrogen value diamonds”. Its special molecular properties are thanks to the presence of nitrogen atoms that replace some carbon atoms in the diamond atomic structure.
In addition to potential medical applications, quantum sensors can be used in alternative navigation technologies that track the interference of the electromagnetic wave. Such tools can be used as local GPS options for the failure of the global system or targeted beatings. The US Space Force is currently experimenting with a version called “The Highest High Performance Inequitative Inequiter Sensor has been tested in space.”
For the vast majority of people who do not have access to quantum sensors with the highest performance in the world, the unpleasant gem project is an opportunity to democratic and develop quantum sensing technology. The project joins others in a variety of hacking areas that are located in low -cost designs, available and components.
Independent researcher, David Gosa, is testing unpleasant gemmakers and codes.
