Quantum Light Sources Realized Via Site-Selective Defect Engineering

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
When photons can be used to transmit information at the speed of light, quantum light sources, connected with quantum fiber optic cables and detectors, will be a requirement. An international team led by physicists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has taken a step toward providing light sources for quantum technologies, by creating quantum light sources in atomically thin material layers and positioning them within the material with nanometer-scale accuracy. The ability to precisely control the placement of the light sources is critical to their value, the researchers said....Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    nanopositioning
    Nanopositioning refers to the precise and controlled movement or manipulation of objects or components at the nanometer scale. This technology enables the positioning of objects with extremely high accuracy and resolution, typically in the range of nanometers or even sub-nanometer levels. Nanopositioning systems are employed in various scientific, industrial, and research applications where ultra-precise positioning is required. Key features and aspects of nanopositioning include: Small...
