CCNY physicists convert microwaves to light with 2D magnets

Original: A new bridge for quantum networks: CCNY physicists convert microwaves to light using 2D magnets

Physicists at the City College of New York report converting microwave signals into light using atomically thin 2D magnetic materials, a step toward connecting quantum devices. The advance could let distant quantum processors or sensors communicate through optical fiber, which transmits photons far more efficiently than microwaves. Researchers describe the work as a building block for future quantum networks.

Why now: The demonstration addresses a key challenge in quantum networking by linking microwave-based quantum systems to optical communication channels.
