Researcher tracks photons to develop unprecedented quantum technology

Wednesday, September 10, 2014 - 06:10 in Physics & Chemistry

Quantum photonics research could change the way we communicate, compute, and measure phenomena on the smallest scales possible. To probe these processes and design new technology that operates with single-photon and single-electron precision, MIT physicist and professor Dirk Englund turns to the experts and instruments at Brookhaven Lab's Center for Functional Nanomaterials. Englund, who leads the Quantum Photonics Group at MIT, explores the quantum landscape with an eye on applications ranging from cryptography to neurology.
