A new quantum computer breakthrough has been reported by Harvard physicists using a new photon router, a powerful optical interface for quantum networks that require low-loss and low-noise transmission of entangled states.
The work of the physicists from Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) led by Larko Lončar paves the way for using the existing telecommunications infrastructure to distribute modular quantum computing networks. Currently, millions of miles of global fiber optic cable carry photon light pulses to power computer communications, which in the future may be harnessed for quantum computing.
