Novel Microwave Isolator Points the Way to New Radio Cameras and Quantum Computers

（July 4, 2023）

Researchers at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) invented a novel microwave isolator and demonstrated for the first time its basic principle that enables small isolators that will be essential for future quantum computers. This isolator consists of two frequency mixers, which are widely used in receivers for radio telescopes, and paves the way for the development of large-scale multi-pixel radio cameras as well.
