Quantum computing and photonics discovery potentially shrinks critical parts by 1,000 times

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University , Singapore have found a way to produce linked pairs of photons using much thinner materials that are just 1.2 micrometers thick, or about 80 times thinner than a strand of hair.

The method could scale down the size of devices for quantum computing because many of these devices currently need large and bulky optical equipment.

Entangled photons are like synchronized clocks that show the same time no matter how far apart they are.

NTU team plans to further optimize the design of their set-up to generate even more linked pairs of photons than possible now.

The development has potential in advancing quantum computing and secure communication, says Prof Sun Zhipei .
