Breakthrough in quantum light source heralds ultra-secure communication

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.

Experts discuss quantum science at screening of ​‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’

Following the screening of the movie, leading experts in quantum science discussed the quantum realm in Marvel’s universe and in ours. Guests were also treated to a hands-on demo of the Quantum Casino, a fun, game-based introduction to quantum physics.

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.
