- 1CCNY physicists convert microwaves to light for quantum networks●A new bridge for quantum networks: CCNY physicists convert microwaves to light using 2D magnets
Physicists at the City College of New York report a way to convert microwave signals into optical light using atomically thin 2D magnets. The advance is described as a potential bridge for quantum networks, since it could let quantum devices that operate with microwaves connect to fiber-optic light-based systems. Details are so far limited to coverage of the team's announcement.

The Quantum Internet Alliance has raised €47.5 million in new funding to expand its quantum networking platform. The investment will support efforts to build quantum internet infrastructure, connecting quantum processors and enabling secure quantum communication. The announcement highlights continued momentum in Europe's quantum technology sector, where alliances and startups are attracting substantial public and private capital.
- 6Programmable fusion advances scalable photonic graph states▼Deterministic and programmable fusion for the scalable generation of photonic graph states
Researchers publishing in Nature report a deterministic and programmable fusion technique for generating photonic graph states at scale. Photonic graph states are entangled light states central to photonic quantum computing, networking and repeaters. Making fusion deterministic rather than probabilistic, while keeping it programmable, is presented as a step toward scalable quantum photonics. The finding matters because scaling entangled photon sources has been a key bottleneck for optical quantum technologies.
