Interesting Thought: Could Entangled Qubits Reveal a Black Hole’s Information? Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute in Maryland have implemented an experimental test for quantum
The Joint Quantum Institute and the University of Maryland have created a transistor that is activated by photon interactions. Enabled by a semiconductor chip, the device is the first single-photon transistor. Astonishingly small, it is quite capable. Millions of these transistors could reside within the space of a grain of salt. Yet, the device is able to process nearly 10 billion qubits per second. The device shows promise in advancing quantum computers.
Teams at the University of Southern Denmark, Arhaus University, and the University of Maryland’s Joint Quantum Institute have demonstrated the ability to subtract a photon of light from a laser beam. A unique property of light is its non-interaction with other photons as they pass through one-another. This property benefits quantum communication with high-success rates of transmission over long distances with encoded data.
Steering Your Photons Arguably, the biggest challenge to quantum computing is the fragility of the photon. A team at the University of Maryland’s Joint Quantum
