Waveguides Coupled with Surface Plasmons Hold Promise for Quantum Computing

For years, researchers have been interested in developing quantum computers—the theoretical next generation of technology that will outperform conventional computers. Instead of holding data in bits, the digital units used by computers today, quantum computers store information in units called "qubits." One approach for computing with qubits relies on the creation of two single photons that interfere with one another in a device called a waveguide.

Metamaterials and Quantum Cascade Structures Combined to Create Ultra-Thin Light Detectors

Subtle interactions of electrons and light make them so valuable for technology: ultra-thin systems of semiconductor layers can turn electrical voltage into light. But they can also be used the other way around and serve as light detectors.

Quantum Networks in Quantum Optics to be Presented at University of Virginia Hoxton Lecture

Opportunities for the exploration of physical systems that have not, thus far, existed in the natural world – that’s what H. Jeff Kimble, William L. Valentine Professor and Professor of Physics at the California Institute of Technology, will discuss in a talk formally titled “Quantum Networks in Quantum Optics.”
