A promising pairing: Scientists demonstrate new combination of materials for quantum science
Diamond and lithium niobate are often touted as high-performance quantum materials. Now scientists have combined the two materials as a single quantum device. In a study reported in ACS Photonics, researchers sent light from the diamond to the lithium niobate and measured the fraction of light that successfully made it across. The result: An extraordinary 92% of the light made the jump from diamond to lithium niobate. Read More
