With such a suitable material so easy to fabricate and scale, there\u2019s been little interest in exploring diamond alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>However, this titan of the quantum domain has a vulnerability. It\u2019s simply too large. Much like how an NFL linebacker isn\u2019t the top pick for a jockey in the Kentucky Derby, diamond falls short when delving into quantum sensors and data processing. When diamonds get too small, the super-stable defect it\u2019s renowned for begins to crumble.
