Insider Brief
Researchers at Monash University developed a nanoscale chip-based circuit that can generate, route, and detect light-based information within a single integrated device, advancing the emerging field of valleytronics.
The device combines ultra-thin quantum materials with engineered nanostructures to manipulate “valley” quantum states at room temperature, addressing a long-standing challenge in integrating signal generation, control, and detection on one chip.
The team demonstrated the system by simultaneously encoding and processing two separate images, highlighting potential applications in quantum computing, optical communications, advanced imaging, and energy-efficient photonic computing systems.
PRESS RELEASE — Researchers from Monash University have developed a breakthrough nanoscale circuit that can generate, direct and read light-based information, all on a single chip.
