This simple twist could bring quantum computers closer to reality
Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney have developed a method to tune quantum emitters by twisting layers of hexagonal boron nitride. This technique allows for precise control over light properties, potentially advancing the development of quantum computing and secure communications.
Why it matters
Improving the control of quantum light sources is a fundamental step toward making quantum computers and ultra-sensitive sensors commercially viable.
Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney have demonstrated a new way to control tiny sources of quantum light by twisting atomically thin layers of hexagonal boron nitride.
