Graphene enables room temperature single photon emitter and detector for unhackable Quantum Key Cryptography (QKD)
Quantum Key Distribution, or QKD, enables two remote parties, “Alice” and “Bob”, who are connected by a passive optical link to securely generate secret key material. Single-photon sources (SPSs) and single-photon detectors (SPDs) are key devices for enabling practical quantum key distributions (QKDs). Single photon generation is necessary for secure quantum transmission; …

Optical Circulators are building blocks for chips for optical communication networks and quantum computers
Fiber optical circulators are used to separate optical signals that travel in opposite directions in an optic fiber in order to complete bidirectional transmission. Optical circulators are also known as non-reciprocal optics, which means when the light travels in the opposite direction, changes in the light properties are not reversed. …
