Quantum computing has long promised to crack problems that defeat even the fastest supercomputers, but the hardware has ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of ...

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

Scientists achieve optical measurements at atomic scales using quantum electron tunneling, surpassing conventional microscopy limits by nearly 100,000 times with standard lasers.

For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the ...

A new way of capturing light from atoms could finally unlock ultra-powerful, million-qubit quantum computers. After decades of effort, researchers may finally be closing in on a practical path toward ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have captured and controlled quantum uncertainty in real time using ultrafast squeezed light pulses (CREDIT: Light ...

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 ...

That’s why quantum materials like 1T-TaS₂ are gaining attention. These materials can switch between conducting and insulating states quickly and reliably, using heat or light as triggers. This ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable storage of quantum information. The structures can be fabricated with extreme ...
