Physicists at the City College of New York report converting microwave signals into light using atomically thin 2D magnetic materials, a step toward connecting quantum devices. The advance could let distant quantum processors or sensors communicate through optical fiber, which transmits photons far more efficiently than microwaves. Researchers describe the work as a building block for future quantum networks.

Researchers at MIT have demonstrated quantum sensors capable of measuring several physical properties simultaneously, rather than one at a time. The multitasking approach could make sensing devices more efficient and compact, with potential uses in energy systems, navigation, and fundamental physics research. The work is drawing attention from the scientific community as a step toward more versatile quantum technology.
