A photonics research group co-led by Gregor Weihs of the University of Innsbruck has developed a new technique for generating multi-photon states from quantum dots that overcomes the limitations of ...

by SPIE Superconducting microstrip photon-number-resolving detector. Credit: Kong (SIMIT). Using single photons as qubits has become a prominent strategy in quantum information technology. Accurately ...

A team of physicists at the University of Bristol has developed the first integrated photon source with the potential to deliver large-scale quantum photonics. The development of quantum technologies ...

Single-photon emitters quantum mechanically connect quantum bits (or qubits) between nodes in quantum networks. They are typically made by embedding rare-earth elements in optical fibers at extremely ...
