Beyond the Quantum Limit in Bioinformatics Validation: A Single-Modality NV Color Center Vertical Design of a Network-Integrated Distributed Quantum Sensor Data Center

Quantum data centers have been envisioned by modern data center vendors, such as Cisco and IBM, and by purpose-built quantum processing unit (QPU) manufacturers, such as PsiQuantum, for many years. While those quantum data center ambitions appear to use different physics approaches than any incidentally-integrated quantum sensing technologies or quantum networking technologies, the underlying technologies that underpin many quantum processing units, quantum sensing devices, and quantum networks could be codesign-unified by a single modality within a successful data center that could, or may need to, beat quantum limits. 

We introduce a quantum data center design based upon nitrogen vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond substrates as the modality for quantum information science, networking, and sensing, with auxiliary fiber optics. This design demonstrates and evaluates the feasibility of a prototypical single-modality vertically-integrated quantum data center. We also highlight some speculative use cases, including in bioinformatics, as the integration of quantum sensors and QPU-based computations may yield quantum advantage by evading some quantum limit effect restriction on measurement as surmounted by algorithmically and procedurally evading various types of noises.
