In a paper published in Science Advances, researchers at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in collaboration with the University of Minnesota and Kyung Hee University have found a new way to control quantum light sources, which is one of the key elements needed before quantum technologies can be used reliably in real-world systems.

Lead author Dr. Angus Gale says the research gives scientists a new control mechanism for tiny quantum light sources, bringing them a step closer to being used in practical quantum technologies such as quantum computing, secure communication and ultrasensitive sensing.

"You can measure these quantum emitters and see that they exist, but it's hard to make them work in practice. This gives us a lever to get closer to that—a step toward the realization of quantum technologies," said Dr
