University of Bristol’s Dr Giacomo Ferranti shows us the silicon ePIC quantum chip. The chip itself is 0.9 mm wide 1.8 mm long and it includes high speed electronic transistors in bulk silicon and silicon optics. The quantum light detector the study is based on is 80 micrometers wide and 220 micrometers long — which is small enough to fit on a human hair. It contains all the electronics and photonics needed to operate and measure quantum states of light and it does this 10 times faster than previous attempts to make quantum light detectors.
