Researchers report the first demonstration of an elementary link of a hybrid quantum information network, using a cold atomic cloud and a doped crystal as quantum nodes as well as single telecom photons as information carriers. The study demonstrates the communication and transmission of quantum information between 2 completely different types of quantum nodes placed in different labs.
Recent research suggests that this quantum network revolution might be just around the corner...
