Europium Unleashed: Rewriting the Rules of Quantum Storage

A groundbreaking europium-based compound, Cs2NaEuF6, could revolutionize quantum memory storage, indicating a promising direction for quantum computing material research.

In the quest to develop quantum computers and networks, there are many components that are fundamentally different than those used today. Like a modern computer, each of these components has different constraints. However, it is currently unclear what materials can be used to construct those components for the transmission and storage of quantum information.
