"Quantum Light Manipulation Achieves Record-breaking Speeds for Ultrafast Electronics"

Scientists at the University of Sydney and the University of Basel have achieved the ability to manipulate and identify small numbers of interacting photons with high correlation, representing an important landmark in the development of quantum technologies. The scientists could measure the direct time delay between one photon and a pair of bound photons scattering off a single quantum dot, a type of artificially created atom. This fundamental science opens the pathway for advances in quantum-enhanced measurement techniques and photonic quantum computing, and could advance medical imaging and quantum computing.
