A new way to control tiny quantum light sources by twisting atomically thin layers of hexagonal boron nitride
In a paper published in Science Advances, researchers at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in collaboration with the University of Minnesota and Kyung Hee University have found a new way to control quantum light sources, which is one of the key elements needed before quantum technologies can be used reliably in real-world systems.
The continuous advancements in material science and quantum physics are enabling researchers to manipulate matter at atomic scales, unlocking new possibilities for quantum light source control.
Controlling quantum light sources is fundamental for developing reliable quantum technologies, which will underpin future secure communication, advanced computing, and precise sensing applications.
This research provides a novel, more efficient method for controlling quantum light sources using common materials, potentially accelerating the development and commercialization of quantum systems.
