New photonic crystal method improves single-photon sources for quantum networks
TL;DRScientists improved single-photon generators needed for quantum networks.
Why it matters: Better photon sources accelerate practical quantum computing and unhackable communications.
Quantum communication promises many advantages over today's standard technologies, including absolutely secure transmission of large amounts of data. However, it requires single photons—and generating them is very difficult. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich…
