Russia Develops Its First Compact On-Chip Source of Squeezed Light
Researchers at Rosatom's Quantum Center have developed a compact device that could enable ultra-precise measurements and accelerate the development of quantum technologies. The team says it is the first device of its kind created in Russia and among the first worldwide.
Squeezed light is a special quantum state of light that enables measurements with precision beyond the standard quantum limit. It can be used to build compact, high-sensitivity sensors, including medical devices, as well as optical quantum computers and portable telecommunications systems.
The project was carried out by research teams led by Igor Bilenko and Dmitry Chermoshentsev as part of Russia's quantum computing roadmap, which is overseen by Rosatom (State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom).
