Multiphoton Generator on a Chip Article Swipe
Multiphoton Generator on a ChipA device for producing up to six photons in a single event could open new doors to quantum technologies.By Philip Ball P roducing entangled photons, whose properties are interdependent, is key to several quantum communication technologies.Most techniques for generating these photons make them exclusively in pairs, and those that can produce more than two photons are difficult to implement.But researchers have now made a chip-sized device that can generate bunches of up to six microwave photons at once [1].The device may be useful for quantum technologies such as extremely secure quantum communication.
