mation," says Lončar. "More importantly, they can be interrogatedthey can be written into and read outwith light."

Lončar's team fabricates diamond posts that contain negatively charged nitrogen vacancy centers, which can absorb light and hold its energy for a given amount of time, finally releasing it in the form of photons.

"The rate at which photons are emitted can be controlled by carefully nano-engineering the center's surrounding," says co-author Irfan Bulu, a research associate in the Lončar group. Attaining fine control of that release, however, has been difficult.

"One of the main challenges has been the efficiency with which you can write information into the spin of these color centers, as well as the efficiency with which you can collect photons emitted from the color centers," explains co-author Jennifer Choy, a graduate student in Lončar's lab at SEAS. "The other challenge has been the ratehow quickly you can perform these processes."

Previous work from Lončar's group solved the collection efficiency problem by using diamond nanowires to channel and direct the flow of photons. The new research manipulates the radius of diamond pillars and adds the silver coating. The diamond-silver construction acts as an optical nanoresonator, creating a strong electromagnetic field around the emitter and offering a new level of control over the rate of emission.

Moreover, the device functions at room temperaturean essential requirement for practical computing applicationsand the nanostructured chips are fully scalable.

"We've designed everything in parallel in a massive system, which allows us to make thousands or millions of devices with more or less the same properties, and we use conventional microfabrication and nanofabrication techniques, unlike what has been done in this field before," says Birgit Hausmann, a graduate student in Lončar's lab at SEAS and one of the co-authors.'/>"/>
