The Russian Quantum Center (RQC) recently showed two technology advances: a plug-and-play quantum key distribution (QKD) system using superconducting single-photon detectors. And with another building block that dovetails to the plug-and-play QKD was a new technique for transferring quantum information from single-photons to single-atoms where they can processed by future quantum computers: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog
Russian Quantum Center member, Elena Kuznetsova, transfers q-bits from single photons to a single atoms where they can be processed in future quantum computers.
