摘要
An open quantum system loses its ‘quantumness’ when information about the state leaks into its surroundings. Researchers now control this so-called decoherence in a single photon. By rotating an optical filter, the information flow between the photon and its environment can be tuned. This concept could be harnessed for future quantum technologies.
