Study Expands the Toolbox of Quantum Technology

…Researchers from Göttingen (Germany) and Lausanne (Switzerland) have successfully created electron-photon pairs in a controlled way in an electron microscope for the first time…

…“With the electron-photon pair, we only need to measure one particle to obtain information about the energy content and temporal appearance of the second one,” emphasizes Germaine Arend, a PhD candidate at the MPI and also first author of the study…

…This allows researchers to use one quantum particle in an experiment while, at the same time, confirming its presence by detecting the other particle… Such a feature is necessary for many applications in quantum technology…
