Ultra-Cold Device Creates Predictable Phonons for Quantum Communications
TL;DR Summary
A cryogenic device generates tunable, predictable phonons (quantized sound) by driving electrons through a 2D crystal, offering a new route for quantum communications—particularly where light struggles, like the deep ocean—though it requires ultracold temperatures to work.
