"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

Photon purity is more than a technical detail. In photonic quantum computing, orderly single-photon streams are easier to control, synchronize, and scale. They also reduce the risk of errors and ...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

Leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computers can perform calculations at lightning-fast speeds, enabling them to solve complex problems faster than conventional computers. In ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...
