Maybe let us debate whether or not the presented research does what the poster claims it does.
With all due respect I think the title of the article “Ultra-efficient frequency conversion in quasi-phase-matched lithium niobate microrings” is better than the editorialised title given here. Maybe let us debate whether or not the presented research does what the poster claims it does.
Tldr: It's a low loss nonlinear optical component, reducing the loss by a factor of 2.
Now explain like I'm five :)
("Dim" isn't quite the right word, but you did say five.)
Reading the first part of the sentence got me hopes up that something resembling a perfect room temperature for a shared office actually exists
Damnit, now I have to learn Q#...I've been putting it off for more than a year but I guess I need to stay competitive. Well, actually, maybe this would be the right audience to ask; if I wanted to do some stuff with quantum, would you recommend Q# or is there a cooler language to use now?
AFAIK the only "quantum computer" it currently interfaces with is LIQ𝑈𝑖⏐〉 (a simulator). http://stationq.github.io/Liquid/

I do know the MS guy largely responsible for Q#. He's an honest fellow and adamant that there is nothing like it. I've never worked with it. If you do get serious with it I'm sure the team would be very interested in hearing from you.

They're trying to make a computer that computes using light that bounces around inside the computer. The more the light bounces around, the dimmer it gets, and the less effective it becomes at computing things. They figured out a way to make the light bounce around twice as long (and so be able to compute more stuff) before it gets too dim to work any more.
