Chip Simplifies Quantum Optics Experiments

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A silicon chip that can process photons in an infinite number of ways could speed up development of quantum computing. Researchers say the lab-on-chip device is a step toward creating quantum computers that could help design new drugs, execute superfast database searches and perform otherwise intractable mathematics calculations that aren't possible for supercomputers. Developed by a team from the University of Bristol and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. (NTT) in Japan, the fully reprogrammable chip brings together a multitude of existing quantum experiments and is said to be...Read full article

    quantum optics
    The area of optics in which quantum theory is used to describe light in discrete units or "quanta" of energy known as photons. First observed by Albert Einstein's photoelectric effect, this particle description of light is the foundation for describing the transfer of energy (i.e. absorption and emission) in light matter interaction.
