In the researchers' new system, a returning beam of light is mixed with a locally stored beam, and the correlation of their phase, or period of oscillation, helps remove noise caused by interactions with the environment. Illustration: Jose-Luis Olivares/MIT

Preserving the fragile quantum property known as entanglement isn’t necessary to reap benefits. « more »
