"Quantum Light Manipulation Achieves Record-breaking Speeds for Ultrafast Electronics"
TL;DR
An international team of physicists has successfully manipulated small numbers of light particles, known as photons, that have a strong relationship with each other. The team shot both a single photon and a pair of bound photons at a quantum dot and could measure a direct time delay between the photon on its own and the ones that were bound. This breakthrough could lead to technology such as lasers with quantum sensitivity for medical imaging and advances in quantum-enhanced measurement techniques and photonic quantum computing.
