Erbium: Building block for a global quantum internet

Published on Sep 11, 2017

A major leap for practical building blocks of a quantum internet: New research from an Australian team demonstrates how to dramatically improve the storage time of a telecom-compatible quantum memory, a vital component of a global quantum network.

The technology operates in the same 1550 nanometre band as today’s telecommunications infrastructure. It can also be operated as a quantum light source or used as an optical link for solid-state quantum computing devices such as superconducting qubits and silicon qubits.
