MPQ-Scientists Develop Quantum Processor for Single Photons

A team of scientists from the Quantum Dynamics Division of Professor Gerhard Rempe have successfully realized a quantum logic gate where two light quanta play the key actors. Professor Gerhard Rempe is the director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. This attempt was highly challenging as photons do not typically interact at all but pass each other uninterrupted.
