Laser-like photons signal major step towards quantum 'Internet'

Published in LATEST

It is an artist's impression of distributed qubits (the bright spots) linked to each other via photons (the light beams). The colors of the beams represent that the optical frequency of the photons in each link can be tailored to the needs of the network.
The realization of quantum networks is one of the major challenges of modern physics. Now, new research shows how high-quality photons can be generated from 'solid-state' chips, bringing us closer to the quantum 'internet'.   The number of transistors on a microprocessor continues to double every two years, amazingly holding firm to a prediction ...

EPFL scientists have combined two materials with advantageous electronic properties -- graphene and molybdenite -- into a flash memory prototype that is promising in terms of performance, size, flexibility and energy consumption.
EPFL scientists have combined two materials with advantageous electronic properties -- graphene and molybdenite -- into a flash memory prototype that is very promising in terms of performance, size, flexibility and energy consumption.   After the molybdenite chip, we now have molybdenite flash memory, a significant step forward in the use of this...
