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 ...

A team of researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg led by Prof. Stefanie Barz (University of Stuttgart) has demonstrated a source of single photons ...

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 long-standing bottleneck in photonic quantum technology may finally be easing. Researchers in Germany ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
