What kind of light is needed for quantum technology?
Photonic quantum computers and new generation optical quantum sensors require special light, and therefore special devices. My research group spent 10 years at the University of Hamburg, before that, at Leibniz University Hannover, pioneering laser systems research and development and measuring instruments for the second quantum revolution. Since 2010, “squeeze lasers” from my working group […]
The role of cable markers in AI-driven industrial automation
Once you enter the AI server room, there is a maze of cables running in almost every direction. One misconception of these cables can stop production and cost thousands of pounds per minute. That’s where advanced cable markers come into play. These are specialized labeling solutions that work better than basic wire labels. These markers […]
