Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

The schematic diagram of the single-photon source system and the efficiency of the single-photon source surpassing the loss tolerance threshold. (Image by PAN et al.) Research teams led by Prof. PAN ...

As the demand for more secure data transmission increases, conventional communication technologies are facing limitations imposed by classical physics, and are therefore approaching their limits in ...

The proposed method uses a single rare-earth ion, trapped inside a tapered optical fiber, to directly generate and guide single photons within the fiber, representing a key low-cost component for ...

Quantum technologies are systems that can compute data, sense their surrounding environment or perform other functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects. Connecting these technologies over long ...
