Charting Europe's nanotechnology roadmap

In a field which requires a high degree of coordinated effort involving many different stakeholder groups, including researchers, policymakers and commercial players across a wide variety of industrial sectors, it has perhaps been inevitable that fragmentation, disconnectedness and duplication have stood in the way. NANOfutures was set up in 2010 to tackle exactly this problem of fragmentation.

New temporal filtering technique improves solid-state single photon sources

An international collaboration has demonstrated a novel temporal filtering approach that improves the performance of triggered single photon sources based on solid-state quantum emitters. The technique is compatible with a broad class of photon sources, and is expected to provide significant improvements in areas important for applications in photonic quantum information science.
