Quantum networks advance with entanglement of photons, solid-state qubits

Wednesday, August 4, 2010 - 16:28 in Physics & Chemistry

A team of physicists has achieved the first-ever quantum entanglement of photons and solid-state materials. The work marks a key advance toward practical quantum networks, as the first experimental demonstration of a means by which solid-state quantum bits, or "qubits," can communicate with one another over long distances.
