Researchers have developed a revolutionary method to produce entangled photon pairs using much thinner materials, drastically reducing the size of quantum computing components.
This breakthrough enables simpler, more compact setups for quantum technologies, potentially transforming fields from climate science to pharmaceuticals.
Breakthrough in Quantum Computing
Researchers have made a discovery that could make quantum computing more compact, potentially shrinking essential components 1,000 times while also requiring less equipment.
A class of quantum computers being developed now relies on light particles, or photons, created in pairs linked or “entangled” in quantum physics parlance. One way to produce these photons is to shine a laser on millimeter-thick crystals and use optical equipment to ensure the photons become linked. A drawback to this approach is that it is too big to integrate into a computer chip. READ MORE...
