Scientists developed a new light source that creates super-bright entangled photons. These photons are crucial for ultra-secure communication in quantum networks. The source combines two technologies to achieve high brightness and entanglement, overcoming the limitations of previous methods. This paves the way for more efficient and secure quantum communication.

Quantum Networks in Our Future
In AVS Quantum Science, investigators outline how a time-sensitive network control plane could be a key component of a workable quantum network. In addition to the well-understood requirements of transmission distance and data rate, for quantum networks to be useful in a real-world setting there are at least two other requirements that need to be considered. One is real-time network control, specifically time-sensitive networking. The second is cost.
