Quantum memory stores single photons for record time
Original: Quantum memory stores single photons for record time in major leap towards a quantum internet
Researchers report that a quantum memory has stored single photons for a record length of time, a result being described as a major step toward building a quantum internet. Such memories are needed to link quantum computers and send unbreakable encrypted signals over long distances, since quantum information is normally lost within fractions of a second. The record storage time suggests networking quantum devices is becoming technically feasible.
Why now: A record-breaking quantum memory result brings the prospect of a quantum internet closer, drawing attention to a fast-moving field.
