Researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have made significant advancements in quantum technology that could accelerate the development of quantum computing. By employing ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) materials, they have achieved single photon emitters with an impressive average quantum efficiency of 76.4%, nearing the ideal of 100%. This breakthrough enhances the on-demand emission of photons, which are crucial for quantum applications. Additionally, NTU scientists have developed innovative photonic chips that can slow light without backscattering, facilitating improved quantum information processing. Notably, the team has also created a quantum processing chip capable of simulating molecular properties, paving the way for faster drug discovery. These findings highlight the potential of NTU’s research to advance practical quantum computing solutions and enhance light-matter interactions at room temperature, reducing the need for energy-intensive cooling.
