Quantum communications bend to our needs

The potential for photon entanglement in quantum computing and communications has been known for decades. One issue impeding immediate application is that many photon entanglement platforms don’t operate within the range used by most forms of telecommunication. Researchers have started to unravel the mysteries of entangled photons, demonstrating a technique that uses semiconductor quantum dots to bend photons to the wavelengths used by today’s popular C-band standards.
