Milestone for quantum communication
A team of researchers headed by Atac Imamoglu, a professor of quantum photonics, has succeeded in “entangling” an “artificial atom” and a light particle for the first time in a semi-conductor system. This is an important step on the road towards a new form of telecommunication based on quantum physics.
Ultrafast all-optical switching by single photons
In Zukunft könnten in der Informationstechnologie Transistoren zum Einsatz kommen, die mit Licht statt mit Strom funktionieren.
