Molecular Coating Cleaned Up Noisy Quantum Light for Quantum Tech
A Breakthrough for Stable Quantum Light Quantum technologies hinge on one unerring rule: every photon must be identical, produced one at a time, with the same energy. Tiny deviations in photon number or energy can derail quantum computers, secure communications, and ultra-precise sensors. Northwestern University engineers have unveiled a practical solution: coating an atomically thin…
