Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are advancing quantum light technology by addressing the challenge of efficiently generating single photons at telecom wavelengths. They discovered that atomic vibrations in crystals can drain energy from light emitters, reducing efficiency. By developing theoretical models and engineering vibrational properties at the atomic level, they aim to create brighter and more efficient quantum emitters. These advances are crucial for the development of quantum networks and the future quantum internet.
