Quantum research paves the way toward efficient, ultra-high-density optical memory storage

As our digital world generates massive amounts of data—more than 2 quintillion bytes of new content each day—yesterday’s storage technologies are quickly reaching their limits. Optical memory devices, which use light to read and write data, offer the potential of durable, fast and energy-efficient storage. As our digital world generates massive amounts of data—more than 2 quintillion bytes of new content each day—yesterday’s storage technologies are quickly reaching their limits.
