Team of Scientists Develop QED System to Enable Distributed Quantum Computation and Quantum Networks

(Phys.org) A team of scientists from Waseda University, the Japan Science and Technology Agency, and the University of Auckland have developed an integrated, all-fiber coupled-cavities quantum electrodynamics (QED) system in which a meter-long portion of conventional optical fiber seamlessly and coherently connects two nanofiber cavity-QED systems.
“This kind of system may enable quantum computation, free from the limited computational power that systems today experience, and quantum networks that transfer and process quantum information generated by quantum computers,” says Takao Aoki, professor of applied physics at Waseda University and leader of the research team.
