A collaborative research team led by Mikhail Lukin, co-director of the Quantum Science and Engineering Initiative and a professor at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, published research on a new system that addresses the challenge of quantum error correction. QuEra Computing, a startup company spun out of Lukin’s lab, is collaborating with the research team to advance these discoveries.

Harvard SEAS researchers have created a device that can bridge digital electronic signals and analog light signals in one fluid step, offering a potential replacement for energy-intensive systems used in today’s high-speed data networks. The researchers’ device was fabricated using a lithium niobate foundry process developed by HyperLight Corporation, a startup that is advancing innovations from Prof. Marko Loncar’s lab.
