Bristol university makes photons for quantum computing, on CMOS

A team of physicists at the University of Bristol has use CMOS to integrate photon source suitable for “large-scale quantum photonics”, it said. “An important challenge that has limited the scaling of integrated quantum photonics has been the lack of on-chip sources able to generate high-quality single photons,” according to Bristol quantum engineer Stefano Paesani. ...
