A Light Touch

Caption

A stylized version of a racetrack nanosandblasted on lithium niobate, where photons are coaxed to interact with each other under low energy conditions. The new system could be optimized to work at the level of individual photons - the holy grail for room-temperature quantum computing and secure quantum communication.
