The researchers showed the emergence of interaction between electronic excitations (excitons – electron hole pairs) mediated via spin waves in atomically thin (2D) magnets. They demonstrated that the excitons can interact indirectly through magnons (spin waves), which are like ripples or waves in the 2D material’s magnetic structure.

Not on its own, this is just a description of a new discovery at the intersection of photonics and spintronics that shows some promise as a new way to transmit and receive quantum information. Potentially useful in both quantum computers and a quantum internet, but now it's on the engineers to design something using it.
