Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner by RIKEN researchers. Such carbon nanotubes could form the basis of future ...

Researchers are learning to flip light on and off one particle at a time, turning single photons into a controllable resource instead of a random byproduct of exotic materials. By engineering ...

Figure 1: Conceptual image of an optical network with optical comb generation and frequency reference distribution which enables automatic frequency synchronization. - Eliminates the need for hundreds ...
