CCNY physicists convert microwaves to light for quantum networks
Original: A new bridge for quantum networks: CCNY physicists convert microwaves to light using 2D magnets
Physicists at the City College of New York report a way to convert microwave signals into optical light using atomically thin 2D magnets. The advance is described as a potential bridge for quantum networks, since it could let quantum devices that operate with microwaves connect to fiber-optic light-based systems. Details are so far limited to coverage of the team's announcement.
Why now: The technique addresses a key challenge in linking quantum computers and sensors to existing optical networks.
