New Class of Versatile, High-Performance Quantum Dots Primed for Medical Imaging, Quantum Computing

A new, highly versatile class of quantum dots excel as single-photon emitters, with applications in biomedical imaging, quantum communication, cybersecurity, and many other fields. Zachary (Zack) Robinson (left) and Vladimir Sayevich (right) are part of the team that has developed these infrared-emitting quantum dots.

A new class of quantum dots deliver a stable stream of single, spectrally tunable infrared photons under ambient conditions and at room temperature, unlike other single photon emitters. This breakthrough opens a range of practical applications, including quantum communication, quantum metrology, medical imaging and diagnostics, and clandestine labeling.

“The demonstration of high single-photon purity in the infrared has immediate utility in areas such as quantum key di...
