Scientists Have Utilized Germanium Vacancy Centers in Diamonds to Create a “Quantum Optical Antenna”

Recently, a research team led by the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering has created a "quantum optical antenna" using germanium vacancy centers in diamonds. This antenna can provide up to six orders of magnitude of optical signal enhancement, achieving performance that is difficult for conventional antennas to match. The researchers said that this technology can be activated with only nanowatts of energy, without the effects of bleaching, heating, and background fluorescence caused by excessive light, and it does not dissipate energy during use.
