University of Iowa researchers have discovered a method to "purify" photons, an advance that could make optical quantum ...

Researchers demonstrate that by shaping the spatial and temporal structure of photons, they can engineer customized quantum ...

University of Iowa researchers have modeled how to create more efficient, secure, and scalable quantum technologies through ...

Researchers from the School of Physics at Wits University, working with collaborators from the Universitat Autònoma de ...

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

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 ...

Physicists in Israel are the first to entangle five photons in a NOON state – the superposition of two extreme quantum states. Unlike previous schemes for creating such states, the researchers claim ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
