EPFL Demonstrates Millimeter-Wave-to-Optical Transducer with 67% Internal Efficiency
Quantum Computing Report · By Mohamed Abdel-Kareem ·
The Brief
- EPFL researchers report a millimetre-wave-to-optical transducer with 67% internal efficiency.
- The device uses a thin-film lithium niobate photonic molecule coupled to a metallic resonator to bridge millimetre-wave and telecom optical domains.
Why it matters
Converting millimetre-wave signals into telecom-band light is a key step toward linking superconducting quantum processors with optical quantum networks.
