A scientist team with the University of Science and Technology of China has successively achieved storage of multiple single-photon pulses emitted from a quantum dot in a solid-state quantum memory, the Xinhua-run cnstock.com reported on Wednesday.
The achievement is expected be helpful in the development of quantum repeaters and the construction of efficient quantum repeaters based on all-solid-state devices, according to an article published by the Nature Communications on Oct. 15.
Quantum communication will play a significant role in information security areas, and its market size will reach 100 billion yuan in the future. Quantum storage is a key to building long-distance quantum communication system.
China has begun the construction of the world's first quantum communication confidential trunk line connecting Beijing and Shanghai.
