"We observed that one photon was delayed by a longer time compared to two photons. With this really strong photon-photon interaction, the two photons become entangled in the form of what is called a two-photon bound state."

By demonstrating the ability to identify and manipulate photon-bound states, the researchers have taken a vital first step toward harnessing quantum light for practical use.

Dr. Mahmoodian's future research will focus on applying this approach to generate states of light useful for fault-tolerant quantum computing, which is already being pursued by multimillion-dollar companies such as PsiQuantum and Xanadu.

The team believes the same principles can be applied to develop more efficient devices that produce photon-bound states, promising applications in various areas such as biology, advanced manufacturing, and quantum information processing.

The research collaboration involved the University of Sydney, the University of Basel, Leibniz University Hannover, and Ruhr University Bochum.
