Quantum photonics network passes a scaling-up milestone – Physics World Fibre-based circuit functions as a programmable router for entangled light

Physicists @heriotwattuni.bsky.social have succeeded in routing and teleporting entangled states of light between two four-user #quantum networks – an important milestone in the development of scalable quantum communications. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/quantum-ph...

Any time saved will in turn be wasted by now LLM-empowered crackpots. Then there's the question of what the real cost of the compute was. Likely much more than the current subscription pricing.

U of T is thrilled to celebrate the Year of Quantum by advertising three new faculty positions!

Please spread the word, encourage friends/mentees to apply, or consider applying yourself.

Yes, please

The Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Quantum Technologies addresses the national need to train cohorts of future quantum scientists and engineers for this emerging industry. The training program is a partnership between the University of Strathclyde, the University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University, in collaboration with more than 30 UK industry partners, with the first cohort of students due to start in 2025.

Two new quantum technology CDTs led/based in Scotland now open for applications - please spread the word:

Delay Detected in Photon Generation The observation of a previously unseen photon delay in the production of quantum light has implications for the development of quantum technologies.

Individual photons can be converted into pairs of entangled photons by passing light through a special crystal. Researchers have now identified a delay between the detection times of each entangled photon that depends on the light's intensity. The finding could affect quantum computers.

Ok, so how about work initiated equally by two ECRs who both need the recognition and a PhD did all the actual work and is therefore first author. Difficult choice to pick who goes last.
