New Angle on Producing Single-photons; Applying to Quantum Computing
New Angle on Producing Single-photons; Applying to Quantum Computing. Researchers at Macquarie University have developed a new method for producing single-photons. The “standard approach” is limited at quantum scales as the production is through materials engineering — a known challenge. The new method shows promise in creating identical quantum emitters from semiconductors by photon nanostructure […]
