Harvard researchers have come up with a way to turn light into various complex shapes. In addition to the importance of discovery, researchers believe they can use the concept in several areas, including quantum computers.
A first application in the coming years
Researchers have developed "metasurfaces" that can create luminous handsets with uniform circular motion and angular velocity. The result would be a light source in the form of a corkscrew or spirals. Scientists who have discovered it also think that the concept would facilitate the control of the device since it is enough to change the polarization of lights.
These complex forms of light may find utility in science, optics, quantum data, and quantum computing. For example, we could change the direction of a vortex center of light to a specific subject in order to have high power imaging thanks to the new technique.
The interest of such a discovery is also part of the race currently leading the major electronic manufacturers like IBM, Google, Microsoft and Intel.
