TechPulse take: Researchers at CCNY have successfully demonstrated a method to convert microwave signals into optical light using the layered semiconductor CrSBr. By leveraging magnon-exciton coupling in this material, the team creates a viable interface for transferring quantum information via optical networks rather than traditional wiring. This breakthrough addresses a critical bottleneck in scaling quantum computers by enabling compact, efficient links between disparate quantum systems operating at different frequencies.
Quantum magnetic waves turn microwaves into light, CCNY finds

CCNY physicists converted microwave signals into optical signals using a layered semiconductor, CrSBr.
Image credit: ChatGPT · ccny.cuny.edu Physicists at The City College of New York have demonstrated a new method for linking quantum computers by converting microwave signals into light using a layered semiconductor. The team focused on chromium sulfide bromide (CrSBr), a material specifically chosen for its ability to facilitate this process, rather than more commonly used semiconductors. When driven by microwaves, the material generates magnetic…
