Nature News : If quantum computing networks are ever to become a reality, physicists must find a way to direct and harness the light emitted in quantum experiments without using cumbersome apparatus.Now Holger Hofmann, at the Department of Quantum Matter at Hiroshima University in Japan , and his colleagues have developed a way to control the direction of light on the nanoscale. Their technique is based on the workings of the Yagi-Uda antenna commonly used to transmit and detect shortwave radio waves.
