Wednesday, June 23, 2021

Such control of light is an important step towards the realization of optical quantum networks and ultimately the so-called quantum internet.

Key Points: 
  • Such control of light is an important step towards the realization of optical quantum networks and ultimately the so-called quantum internet.
  • However, these same physical characteristics lead to difficulties in isolating (generation) and controlling (storage/retrieval/switching) single photons.
  • A solution to this problem is the development of means to control photons using atomic media.
  • In the case of bacteria, macroscopic behavior emerges through the movement of millions of bacterial cells self-propelled by flagellar rotation.
