Integrated Chips Used as Single-Photon Sources

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SYDNEY and NICE, France, April 3, 2014 — A high-quality source of single photons is hard to come by. But there may be a solution in the pipeline in the form of an integrated optical chip. “Unfortunately, nature is reluctant to create photons one at a time — they tend to come out in bunches,” said Thomas Meany, a doctoral student at Macquarie University in Sydney and member of a research team studying this topic. “This is a serious impediment we have to overcome in order to make photon sources a useful tool.” Such sources are vital to advanced quantum technologies, such as the simulation of...Read full article
