Gao, J., McMillan, J. F., & Wong, C. W. (2012). Nanophotonics: Remote on-chip coupling. Nat. Photon., 6(1), 7–8.
Abstract: Scientists have demonstrated strongly coupled photon states between two distant high-Q photonic crystal cavities connected by a photonic crystal waveguide. Remote dynamic control over the coupled states could aid the development of delay lines, optical buffers and qubit operations in both classical and quantum information processing.
