Quantum innovation at HRL Laboratories
In 1960, Hughes Research Laboratories demonstrated the world’s first laser. It was a breakthrough born of the laboratory’s cutting-edge capabilities in photonics and materials science. Over the last decade, the Malibu-based research lab — now named HRL Laboratories — has been applying those same capabilities to quantum information science. A Q-NEXT industry partner, HRL is helping the center develop the technologies needed to realize quantum communication. Read More
