Nvidia’s strategy in quantum computing is unlike any other company’s because they’re not building their own quantum processor, but rather the platform that all other quantum hardware and software can integrate into and leverage to achieve the potential of quantum computing. This might not surprise anyone familiar with the way Nvidia engages with other industries—it’s […]

While sub-megahertz linewidths satisfy many quantum operations, some reference sources require even greater coherence. Hybrid architectures that combine DFB lasers with photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are attracting significant interest. Integrated resonators, stabilization structures, and optical feedback elements can further narrow effective linewidth of semiconductor technologies.3 Such approaches may ultimately provide a path toward highly scalable

The need to boost the photonics and optics workforce remains critical. But attracting technicians and engineers remains a challenge. In this episode, host Justine Murphy examines the increasing number of technician training programs around the country, and talks with a few of those who remain motivated to help alleviate the industrywide struggle. Following the Photons:

Lasers are the powerhouse of photonics: Coherent, powerful, and brilliant. At the other end of the intensity scale, single photons occupy a unique place in quantum technology as the only practical carriers of quantum information between distant systems. Single photons enable quantum key distribution (QKD), with security assured by quantum mechanics rather than computational assumptions,

Every year, Laser Focus World’s Innovators Awards celebrate the optics, photonics, and quantum companies creating new and novel products to meet market needs by advancing or enhancing efficiency and productivity, as well as client cost savings. We always love to see your entries and the stories behind your innovative product design. Please go ahead and

This episode features an interesting discussion with Jerome Paye, CEO of laser-powered particle accelerator developer TAU Systems. He has over 20 years of industry leadership and research experience, including as a contributor to the early design of France’s Laser Megajoule facility. He talked with host Justine Murphy about his different experiences, what he’s learned along

Quantum advance High-dimensional quantum technologies “require simultaneous, real-time access to many optical modes—particularly for applications involving feedback and control,” says Kalash. “In quantum computing, for example, multimode squeezed states can be combined to form complex entangled cluster states in which the modes act as interconnected nodes of a computational network. The ability to monitor many

In contrast, the Tm:YLF curve scales rapidly as the pump duration is extended and reaches a clear operational threshold, where it achieves a true transparency state at a 2-ms pump duration. From this point, the output scales aggressively and climbs into the multi-joule regime and peaks around an optimized 20-ms pump window to deliver an

Light News: Quantum Edition features a quick roundup of some of the coolest, most exciting news impacting the quantum sector of the photonics industry.

The semiconductor industry is undergoing one of its most significant transitions since the advent of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. While transistor scaling continues to drive improvements at the device level, system-level performance is increasingly achieved through advanced packaging technologies. Architectures based on chiplets, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous integration enable higher bandwidth, lower
