In the Quantum Minutes series, scientists explain fundamental quantum terms in an easy and understandable manner. This particular video has been recorded in our ExAP labs of the electrical engineering building.
In her research, Irene studied the interaction of the light confined in an optical cavity with mechanical resonators (tiny drums) made of hexagonal boron nitride, a material with quantum properties. In this Quantum Minutes episode, she will tell you how such an experimental platform could help bridge the gap towards the quantum internet.
