There are few technologies more fundamental to modern life than the ability to control light with precision. From fiber-optic communications to quantum sensors, the manipulation of photons underpins ...

A recent study has unveiled a significant advancement toward the on-chip integration of single-photon sources at room temperature. This achievement represents a significant step forward in the field ...

There are few technologies more fundamental to modern life than the ability to control light with precision. From fiber-optic communications to quantum sensors, the manipulation of photons underpins ...

Controlling light at the level of individual photons could one day do for quantum networks what switching and routing have done for classical internet infrastructure. To help realize that vision, ...

The proposed method uses a single rare-earth ion, trapped inside a tapered optical fiber, to directly generate and guide single photons within the fiber, representing a key low-cost component for ...

2025 is the Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Armed with deep research and timely dose of EU funding, what began as a risky idea in Copenhagen has become one of Europe's most scientifically and ...

Researchers at Purdue University have achieved a long-sought milestone, demonstrating what they call a “photonic transistor” that operates at single-photon intensities. There are few technologies more ...
