Slight temperature changes, imperceptible manufacturing imperfections, and heat generated by their own components can completely ruin an entire quantum quantum system-on-chip. Silicon photonics could ...

Scientists predict the existence of flat electronic bands at the Fermi level, a finding that could enable new forms of quantum computing and electronic devices. In a study published in Nature ...

When you turn on a lamp to brighten a room, you are experiencing light energy transmitted as photons, which are small, discrete quantum packets of energy. These photons must obey the sometimes strange ...

Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

Forward-looking: Researchers from Boston University, UC Berkeley, and Northwestern University have developed an integrated system that combines electronic, photonic, and quantum components on a single ...

Fast randomness A diagram of the quantum random number generator on the photonic integrated chip. (Courtesy: Bing Bai and Yao Zheng) Smartphones could soon come equipped with a quantum-powered source ...

WASHINGTON, June 29, 2021 -- As pervasive as they are in everyday uses, like encryption and security, randomly generated digital numbers are seldom truly random. So far, only bulky, relatively slow ...

Many businesses are already working on various ways to create large, stable qubits that will power the quantum future. But how close are we to this, and what do we need to do to get there? How ...
