"moves excitons with light/ nano-ridge at room temperature, acts like wire/ switch enabling circuits running on excitons instead of electricity... moves quantum information without losses from moving inherently charged electrons... hard to move excitons since without charge, overcome pulling along physical ridge, exciton equivalent of wire... gate-like flow control with electrodes positioned on either side of ridge... high speed on-chip data transfer links: supercomputers, data centers, AI, autonomous vehicles, digital twins"
