Santori C, Beausoleil RG. Quantum memory: Phonons in diamond crystals. Nat Photon. 2012;6:10–2.
Abstract: The demonstration that quantum information can be stored in a bulk-diamond crystal in the form of an optically excited phonon gives researchers a new type of mechanical solid-state quantum memory to explore.

Gao J, McMillan JF, Wong CW. Nanophotonics: Remote on-chip coupling. Nat Photon. 2012;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.

Kono J. Coherent terahertz control. Nat Photon. 2011;5:5–6.
Abstract: Spin and charge terahertz excitations in solids are promising for implementing future technologies such as spintronics and quantum computation, but coherently controlling them has been a significant challenge. Researchers have now manipulated coherent spin waves in an antiferromagnet using the intense magnetic field of ultrashort terahertz pulses.
