This innovative approach allows for the generation of multiphoton entanglement on a single metasurface, simplifying the process while making it more efficient. The researchers' method involves sending ...

Albert Einstein shook up physics by proposing that light wasn’t just a wave, but it could also behave like a collection of ...

Quantum information processing is a field that relies on the entanglement of multiple photons to process vast amounts of ...

Quantum computing has long struggled with creating entangled photons efficiently, but a team of researchers has discovered a ...

The rich history of research involving photons is celebrated in a supplement to this month's Nature Physics. This is the tenth in the series of Milestones supplements, preceded by others on such ...

Two-photon emission (2PE) is a process in which an electron transition between quantum levels occurs through the simultaneous emission of two photons. Two-photon emission is interesting because it ...

Manuele Landini from the University of Innsbruck was part of an international team led by researchers at CNR Nanotec in Lecce ...

Under the sea ice during the Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, cells power photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever ...

Observing the interactions between dark matter and so-called "dark photons" during a period after the Big Bang called the "cosmic dawn" could help shed light on the universe's most mysterious and ...

They have found a new use for the superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs) already employed for detecting photons, the fundamental particles of light. These incredibly sensitive and ...
