Light Sources News
New photodetector makes do with few photons
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The fundamental probabilistic nature of light makes it impossible to perfectly distinguish light from dark at very low intensity. Low power and high fidelity in reading data are especially important for secure communications and quantum computation; to facilitate such capabilities, a detector that sees well in the dark is crucial. Now, using a scheme based on quantum mechanics called unambiguous state discrimination (USD), researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute have achieved the lowest e...
