Transform-limited photon emission and high temperature operation make PbV centers suitable building blocks for scalable quantum networks. Credit: Tokyo Tech Much like how electric circuits use components to control electronic signals, quantum networks rely on special components and nodes to transfer quantum information between different points, forming the foundation for building quantum systems. In the […]
Hyperspectral imaging is the most comprehensive of the three common image processing technologies. The other two technologies are red-green-blue (RGB) imaging and multispectral imaging. All three are noninvasive and nondestructive and give engineers and scientists different ways to analyze objects. RGB imaging can be quick and inexpensive to implement and provides basic information about an […]
Gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors have come a long way since first becoming commercially viable as highly bright, blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the early 1990s and, subsequently, a core technology for Blu-ray optical disk players. It would be almost two decades before the technology was commercially viable for field effect transistors (FETs) with high power […]
