An international team of researchers has succeeded in generating and manipulating single particles of light (photons) on a silicon microchip – a major step forward in the race to build a quantum computer.
“Our device removes the need for external photon sources, provides a path to increasing the complexity of quantum photonic circuits and is a first step toward fully integrated quantum technologies,” said project leader Dr. Mark Thompson from the University of Bristol in the announcement. The breakthrough is featured on the cover of the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature Photonics.
