Unique Optic Isolator Developed at Technion

Researchers at Israel’s Technion have created a mechanical way to make light go one way (and one way only) at nanoscales. It’s the first of its kind optical “isolator,” which might prove useful in quantum computing and optical computing, where you want to precisely control the direction and “size” of the light signals that move from chip to chip and carry the information of the computational process.
