Physicists have finally secured direct evidence that quantum spin ice, a long-hypothesized and highly unusual state of matter ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Joint Quantum Institute (NIST/University of Maryland) have developed a new method for creating pairs of entangled photons, ...

Everyday life on the internet is insecure. Hackers can break into bank accounts or steal digital identities. Driven by AI, attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Quantum cryptography ...

For the first time, scientists have watched groups of three photons interacting and effectively producing a new form of light. In results published in Science, researchers suggest that this new light ...

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest ...

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the Max Planck Institute have developed a way to produce a web of quantum entangled photons using a far more simple setup than usual. The key is a ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute have developed an efficient new method to drive the quantum entanglement of photons, and demonstrated it by entangling a record number of photons. The technique ...

Those of us who grew up watching Luke and Leia on screen have probably wondered at one point or another why we don’t have lightsabers. The basic reason why is because the photons that make up light do ...

On and off: Better, simpler control of single-photon emissions opens the door to new platforms in quantum research. (Courtesy: art-skvortsova/iStockphoto) Researchers ...

A boson sampler that uses atoms rather than photons has been developed by researchers in the US. The team used its system to determine a complex quantum state more accurately than would be practicable ...

Researchers have developed a new method for creating pairs of entangled photons, particles of light whose properties are interlinked in a very unusual way dictated by the rules of quantum physics.
