Invention Triggers One of Quantum Mechanics’ Strangest and Most Useful Phenomena

September 24, 2022

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have created a device to replace a roomful of equipment to link photons in a bizarre quantum effect called entanglement.

Research for the groundbreaking device, which is a hundred times thinner than a sheet of paper, was performed, in part, at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, a Department of Energy Office of Science user facility operated by Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories. Sandia’s team received funding from the Office of Science, Basic Energy Sciences program.
