Quantum Meld Brings Photons Together

Encoding information in quantum particles such as photons, the quanta of light, could lead to powerful new technologies, such as ultrafast quantum computers and unbreakable quantum cryptography. A method for loading the information carried by two photons into a single photon, described in Nature Photonics , suggest a way to boost the efficiency of data transmission in such systems. [More]
