Insider Brief
UTS researchers and collaborators developed a twist-based method for controlling quantum light sources in hexagonal boron nitride, advancing a key building block for practical quantum technologies.
The team showed that picking up, twisting and restacking layered hBN could significantly shift the colour and wavelength of emitted quantum light.
The researchers said the approach could support future applications in quantum computing, secure communications, quantum sensing, healthcare, cybersecurity and improved GPS.
PRESS RELEASE — In a paper published in Science Advances, researchers at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in collaboration with the University of Minnesota and Kyung Hee University have found a new way to control quantum light sources, which is one of the key elements needed before quantum technologies can be used reliably in real-world systems.
