In this 100th year anniversary since the inception of quantum mechanics, quantum technologies are more exciting than ever before. With promises of quantum supremacy on the horizon, there are several challenges that all quantum researchers face, and one of the largest is that of efficiently storing quantum information. Often, this quantum information is encoded into single photons – individual particles of light. Through my research at the University, I have created a one-of-a-kind “quantum memory” that stores these single photons by putting them on a metaphorical treadmill. I store the fastest thing in the universe by putting it into reflection cavities and making it bounce back and forth thousands of times – letting the photon travel without going anywhere. Each spot in the image represents a point where a photon strikes a mirror on its journey through the reflection cavity. These mirrors are key to storing photons, solving one of the key problems that the quantum industry faces in rapidly developing quantum technologies.
