Chip-based phonon splitter brings hybrid quantum networks closer to reality: https://bit.ly/3KFOZUB

The coupler acts like a junction in a #quantum postal route to split, route or recombine single quantum vibrations to send excitations made in one processor to others on the same chip. #OPG_OpticaQ💡⚛️

This chip-based #quantum random number generator produces truly random numbers: bit.ly/48MoWVJ

The #technology both boosts weak signals and uses a second photodiode to suppress noise.

As a result, miniaturized and high-speed, it can generate unpredictable random numbers at a rate of 3 Gbps. ⚛️💡
