Photonic crystal nanobeam resonator fabricated in Nd:YSO

In Nature Communications, Andrei Faraon’s group has demonstrated coupling of an ensemble of neodymium rare-earth-ions to photonic nanocavities fabricated in the yttrium orthosilicate host crystal. This kind of quantum light–matter interface connecting stationary qubits to photons will enable optical networks for quantum communications, precise global time keeping, photon switching and studies of fundamental physics.
