If one were to think of this pulse as discrete quanta of photon particles, it’d seem to break causality, but as a wave function within quantum physics this is perfectly acceptable. Observations ...

In other words, rather than encoding quantum information in just one property of a photon, the team's system can multitask, ...

Scientists have achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of energy storage. A team at the Commonwealth Scientific and ...

A team of physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has measured a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. In their ...

Leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computers can perform ... carried in particles of light called photons. Single photon emitters that emit precisely one photon at a time ...

Even with just one photon passing through per second, the calcite setup demonstrates how light ‘chooses’ a path, revealing the probabilistic essence of quantum mechanics. Using common ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new technique for measuring the quantum state of electrons ejected ...

Quantum mechanics made it possible to successfully ... The detuning of the nano-resonance upon the transition from one-photon to two-photon absorption is explained by a shift of the main ...

This new device generates spin-orbit photonic qudits, which encode information in light by manipulating its shape (orbital angular momentum) and twist (polarization). Instead of encoding information ...
