Researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology can now for the first time remotely control a miniature light source at timescales of 200 trillionth of a second. They published the results on Sept. 2014 in the online journal Nature Nanotechnology. Physicists from the Photonics and Semiconductor Nanophysics group at Eindhoven, under the leadership of prof. Andrea Fiore, have developed a way of remotely controlling the nanoscale light sources at an extremely short timescale. These light sources are needed to be able to transmit quantum information.
