Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner ...

Researchers from the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute and the University of Wisconsin-Madison ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

Photon purity is more than a technical detail. In photonic quantum computing, orderly single-photon streams are easier to ...

A beam of light was sent through a maze of mirrors and detectors. Then scientists changed the setup after the photon had already passed through. Somehow the photon adjusted its behavior as if it had ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

Researchers created carbon nanotubes that emit one photon from a single controllable point, enabling temperature quantum ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa have identified a new way to "purify" photons, a development that could improve both the performance and ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have developed a new type of lidar—a laser-based remote-sensing ...

For most people, the magnifying-glass-shaped structure at Huairou Science City in Beijing is a high-end but inaccessible ...
