Amazon to work with diamond company De Beers Group to revolutionize computer networks
By MYBRANDBOOK
In a bid that custom-made gems could help revolutionize computer networks, ecommerce giant Amazon.com Inc. has joined hands with a unit of De Beers Group to grow artificial diamonds.
The Element Six division of De Beers and Amazon Web Services’ Center for Quantum Networking will be working together on the project. Center for Quantum Networking is a unit that is seeking next-generation ways to transmit data securely over longer distances.
Quantum networking uses subatomic matter to deliver data in a way that goes beyond today’s fiber-optic systems. The diamonds would be part of a component that lets the data travel farther without breaking down.
Information in the form of qubits cannot be handled by conventional signal repeaters. Ultimately, this equipment could wind up in networks used by AWS.
“We want to make these networks for AWS,” said Antia Lamas-Linares, who runs the Center for Quantum Networking. She estimates the technology will be in use within “years rather than decades.”
Amazon handles a huge chunk of the world’s computing and information storage, so it wants to stay on top of any technology that may give it an edge over rivals Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google.
For Element Six, the hope is to find a new application for industrial diamonds, which are prized for their hardness and ability to work as a lens. Using them in quantum computing — a nascent technology that promises to make data more secure — could be a big opportunity.
The widespread use of quantum networking would require a massive amount of components, including specialized diamonds. Element Six recently opened a plant in Oregon that’s capable of producing as many as two million units of such a component per year using a technique called chemical vapour deposition.
