In contrast to other quantum state realizations, entangled photons don\u2019t need bulky equipment to keep them in their quantum state, and they can transmit quantum information across long distances. The new device creates entangled photons that span the traditional telecommunications spectrum, making it appealing for multi-channel quantum communication and more powerful quantum computers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe advantages of our chip are that it\u2019s compact and cheap. It\u2019s also unique that it operates on multiple channels,\u201d said Michael Kues, Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), University of Quebec, Canada.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2016-04-frequency-time-bin-entangled-qubits.html\">http:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2016&#45;04-frequency-time-bin-entangled-qubits.html<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quantum mechanics, with its counter-intuitive rules for describing the behavior of tiny particles like photons and atoms, holds great promise for profound advances in the security and speed of how we communicate and compute.
