A highway instead of a racetrack: Strong coupling of light and sound in an optical fiber

For the first time, scientists have achieved strong coupling between light and long-lived acoustic vibrations in an optical fiber, as reported in a study published in Nature Physics. This breakthrough could lead to advancements in both classical telecommunications and quantum communication, potentially transforming optical fibers into not only connections but also quantum processors. The findings open new possibilities for quantum signal processing technologies.
