Molecular Coating Cleans up Noisy Quantum Light
A new coating developed by Professor Mark Hersam boosts spectral purity by 87 percent, paving the way for quantum technologies.
Cleaner quantum light = better quantum tech.
A simple #molecular coating developed by NU's Mark Hersam makes single-photon sources more stable, pure, and scalableβpaving the way for secure #quantum communication.
