In short

  • A new hybrid platform joins quantum emitters with photonic devices on one chip.
  • The chip pairs gallium phosphide (GaP) with a diamond substrate.
  • The researchers say it could help connect quantum devices over long distances.

Researchers have developed and demonstrated a new hybrid photonic platform that integrates quantum emitters with photonic devices, providing a way to reliably control the interaction between photons and quantum information carriers. The chip-based platform, which combines gallium phosphide (GaP) with a diamond substrate, could help make quantum networks more practical by providing a way to connect quantum devices over long distances.
