Engineering physicist Christine Tremblay talks to Joe McEntee about the joys of a career spent making fibre-optic networks cheaper, smarter and more resilient, opening the way for telecommunications ...

New device emits photons in telecom fiber band from the start, so it avoids a separate converter that can waste photons.

With the rise of quantum computers, the security of our existing communication systems is at risk. Quantum computers will be able to break many of the encryption methods used in current communication ...

Optical fibre communication systems have revolutionised global telecommunications by harnessing light‐based signal transmission through highly engineered glass or plastic fibres. The principle of ...

Bright idea: this vacuum chamber is home to an optical conveyor belt. (Courtesy: P Windpassinger/Experimental Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Research Group) A ...
