Quantum Emitters Pave the Way for a Revolutionary Quantum Internet

Researchers have made progress in the development of a quantum internet by improving the creation of quantum emitters, also known as color centers, which are crucial for transmitting quantum information. Using pulsed ion beams instead of continuous beams, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have found a more efficient method for producing color centers in silicon. The team's work aims to identify the best quantum defect emitters for quantum information processing and to produce them with precision. The findings also suggest potential applications for color centers as radiation sensors.
