Small Struc­tures on a Large Scale

“Optical quantum networks” form the basis for future technologies, like the quantum computer and the quantum internet. To date, one challenge in realizing these networks has been the need to connect many different components within a large system. Scientists from the University of Paderborn hope to overcome this hurdle through their research project known as “Qinos” (quantum components – integrated, optical, scalable), using thin layers of…
