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

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

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

Light is the workhorse of quantum technology, but in the real world it is messy, noisy and full of unwanted fluctuations that ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Quantum mechanics can explain and recover classical results under some specific approximations. However, deriving quantum mechanical results strictly from classical assumption is generally not ...

The theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) underpins our understanding of the strong interaction, governing how quarks and gluons interact to form hadrons. One of the most promising nonperturbative ...

A chip-scale interface entangles light and electronic states without cryogenic cooling, bringing quantum networking hardware ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...

Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem. When you purchase ...
