Entangling light and sound in a new way

An essential requirement for emerging quantum technologies.

Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) have created an efficient method to entangle photons with acoustic phonons, which is crucial for advancing quantum technologies such as secure communications and quantum computing. Their approach also shows that this entanglement is resistant to external noise, a major challenge for quantum systems.
