Physicists Reveal New Insight and Facets of the Effect of Non-Resonant Coupling

Future applications of quantum information technology, e.g., ultimately secure data transfer protocols, will be based on data encryption by sequences of single photons, i.e., the smallest and therefore indivisible quanta of light. As possible candidates for such special kinds of light sources, so-called quantum emitters inside a micro-resonator can be used.
