The development of a so-called quantum internet may have just seen a significant breakthrough, experts have declared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Research from a team Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada published in the scientific journal Nature<\/em> (opens in new tab)<\/span> provides proof of principle that T centers, a specific luminescent defect in silicon, can provide a \u2018photonic link\u2019 between qubits (quantum computing's counterpart to the binary digit or bit of classical computing).<\/p>\n
