A new paradigm for quantum emitter control – modulating and encoding quantum photonic information on a single optical stream
Comparison of surface morphology and influence of inverted physical deposition technology on P(VDF-TrFE) films. Credit: ACS Nano (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.4c10528 A multidisciplinary team at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed a new paradigm for controlling quantum emitters, providing a new way to modulate and encode quantum photon information in single-photon light streams. Quantum photonics is expected to provide…

A new device for analyzing partial coherence in integrated photonic networks
Generation of multimode partially coherent light by PCLA. Credit: Light: Science & Applications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41377-024-01622-y Anyone familiar with optical labs is familiar with the limits of optical coherence. Laser beams are highly coherent and produce well-defined interference patterns that are used in precision applications such as atomic manipulation and precision sensing. In contrast, light from a light source such…
