China sets world record, ‘traps’ light for 4,035 seconds to boost quantum information
SMRTR summary
Chinese scientists at the Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences set a world record for light storage, holding light-based information for over an hour using a single-crystal silicon carbide film. They converted light signals into sound signals, surpassing previous material limitations. This breakthrough could advance quantum computing by enabling longer quantum information storage. Researchers aim to further extend storage time, increase information density, and enhance compatibility with other quantum technologies.
