The power of quantum materials to harness photons for quantum technologies The delicate nature of qubits has spurred research into discovering special types of materials with quantum properties that can potentially create stable qubits.

I had fun learning about #nanoribbons, #quantumdots and #excitons from Avetik Harutyunyan, Boris Yakobson, Dorian Gangloff @eng.cam.ac.uk, Richard Warburton @unibas.ch & Mack Kira @umich.edu for my article in Photonics Focus @SPIE - spie.org/news/photoni...
