Can Quantum Lasers Survive Without Rare Earths?

Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute is shaking up the laser world by developing crystals and fibers that ditch rare earth elements—those hard-to-source materials at the heart of today’s lasers. With China tightening exports, is this the leap quantum computing and imaging need to break free from supply chain drama? Or will performance trade-offs slow down real-world adoption? Let’s debate: Is this the future of secure, scalable laser tech? #QuantumComputing #LaserTech #SupplyChain #Tech
