A girl's best friend

I'm fretting over this post on the Science Blog.

They moved a quantum state from one atom in a diamond to an adjacent nitrogen atom.

Which begs the question.

What sort of a diamond has a nitrogen atom in it? Surely if there's nitrogen in it, it's not a diamond anymore? It's spoilt, spoilt, spoilt, spoilt. Who cares if you can move quantum states around?
