Quantum memory stores single photons for record time
Original: Quantum memory stores single photons for record time in major leap towards a quantum internet
Researchers report a quantum memory that has stored single photons for a record length of time, a result described as a major step towards building a quantum internet. Long-lived storage of individual light particles is a key requirement for quantum repeaters, the devices needed to send entangled signals across continental distances. The achievement is drawing attention as a milestone in quantum communication research.
Why now: A record-breaking result in quantum memory brings the prospect of a quantum internet closer, making it newsworthy.
