Major Step Forward for Quantum Technology
Major Step Forward for Quantum Technology A team of researchers from Finland, Sweden, and Japan have developed a semiconductor component in which quantum information can be efficiently exchanged between electron spin and photons at room temperature and above. The new method, described in an article recently published in Nature Photonics, is based on amplifying the spin polarisation in a semiconductor structure made up of InAs quantum dots and nitrogen-containing semiconductor compounds. The component was fabricated by researc...
