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

An international research team involving Paderborn University has achieved a crucial breakthrough on the road to a quantum internet. For the first time ever, the polarization state of a single photon ...

We’ve just heard about a working quantum computer tucked inside a diamond, and we’re already talking about quantum networks that could herald a quantum Internet? Yep, and in fact more than just ...

Controlled generation of single-photon emitters in silicon (red) by broad-beam implantation of ions (blue) through a lithographically defined mask (left) and by a scanned focused ion beam (right).

Quantum technologies are systems that can compute data, sense their surrounding environment or perform other functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects. Connecting these technologies over long ...

The proposed method uses a single rare-earth ion, trapped inside a tapered optical fiber, to directly generate and guide single photons within the fiber, representing a key low-cost component for ...

Physicists and Marvel aficionados worldwide are intrigued by multiverse theory. A new study provides a major challenge to this theory, stated Earth. The examination is based on a photon. Findings ...

When we look at the world around us, all that we see is thanks to light. It reflects, refracts, and interacts, carrying shape ...

The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but physicists at the University of Birmingham have now calculated ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...
