"Converting Light to Sound: Unlocking Quantum Speed for the Internet"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Niels Bohr Institute have developed a method to store quantum data by converting light signals into sonic vibrations in a small drum, paving the way for an ultra-secure internet with incredible speeds. This new form of "quantum memory" could play a crucial role in the future network of quantum computers, allowing for the transmission of quantum information over long distances without losing its quantum state. The quantum drum's ability to handle all light frequencies and retain data signals makes it a promising candidate for use in quantum networks and quantum computers, potentially revolutionizing the field of quantum computing and communication.
