Scientists Finally Manipulate Quantum Light, Fulfilling Einstein's 107-Year-Old Dream
Story by Tim Newcomb
Albert Einstein's stimulated emission theory has been validated by large amounts of light, but never before by individual photons.
New research offers the ability to manipulate and identify single photons, allowing for the manipulation of quantum light.
Continued development of this technology has the potential to lead to huge advancements in quantum computing.
Scientists stand ready to manipulate quantum light, just as Albert Einstein envisioned in 1916.
Researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Basel successfully managed to manipulate and identify small numbers of interacting photons—packets of light energy. According to the team, this work represents an unprecedented landmark development for quantum technologies.
