Quantum technologies are cutting-edge systems that can process, transfer, or store information leveraging quantum mechanical ...

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a single photon can carry. This leap could make quantum communication more ...

A further benefit is that the channels can be multiplexed, allowing many quantum processors to access the system at the same time. The researchers say this is similar to multiplexing in classical ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them? To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, ...

Researchers from Wits University and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona show how controlling the structure of photons in space and time enables tailored quantum states for next-generation communication ...

Researchers have developed a revolutionary new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and optical loss from the sample are present. (Nanowerk News) ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...
