Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back A Systematic Approach to the Design of a Strain-Sensitive Element Made of Modifi ed Diamond for Computing Using Quantum Technologies S.V. DIANOV, V.M. NOVICHKOV A structure and design project of a measuring channel for a quantum diagnostic computer (a computer used for diagnostics) is proposed. The dimensions and shape of the NV-centered diamond insert depend on the measurement range of the parameter being measured or tested. The parameter is an indicator of the state of the system under test. The NV-centered diamond plate is both a sensor and a transducer. It converts the input parameter into a photon (or phonon) output, which will be the input value to a quantum diagnostic computer. It is proposed to use a diamond plate with an NV center as the main part of the measuring channel for a quantum diagnostic computer. A diamond insert with an NV center virtually consists of two parts. The fi rst is a diamond plate that serves as a resonator. The second part is the NV center in the modifi ed diamond plate. The NV center serves as a downstream transducer. A diamond with an NV center is a diamond with a broken lattice, which does not affect the mechanical properties, in particular the natural frequency of the plate. It allows you to combine two sensors into one: primary (sensing element) and secondary (NV center). The sensor, consisting of a resonator and a transducer, vibrates using an oscillation excitation system. The NV-centered diamond wafer produces data for a quantum computer while it vibrates: generating photons (or phonons) taken as measurements. The presented approach to creating new sensors allows the use of a new type of measuring channel. The new type of sensors, as a result, are many times smaller than traditional types of sensors, allowing data to be entered directly into a quantum computer system without any additional means, using the property of photon radiation using various types of detectors.
