Researchers propose an unconventional way to generate light made from entangled photons. In the graphic above, photons meet the electrons of a helium atom, which then emits two entangled photons.

Scientists seeking to explore the teeming microcosm of quarks and gluons inside protons and neutrons report new data delivered by particles of light. The light particles, or photons, come directly ...

Researchers at NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology were able to make photons emitted by quantum dots at different frequencies identical to each other by shifting their frequencies to ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have managed to entangle more than a dozen photons efficiently and in a defined way. They are thus creating a basis for a new type of quantum ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner ...

Quantum systems cannot be cloned - or duplicated - perfectly, but the development of quantum cryptography and computing relies on a knowledge of exactly how well they can be copied. Antia ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have managed to entangle more than a dozen photons efficiently and in a defined way (Nature, "Efficient generation of entangled ...

2D projection of the cosmic web as obtained from a supercomputer simulation. CREDIT Dr Ewald Puchwein and the Sherwood-Relics collaboration Dark matter could be made up of ultralight dark photons that ...

A team of scientists from NUST MISIS and MIPT have developed and tested a new platform for realization of the ultra-strong photon-to-magnon coupling. The proposed system is on-chip and is based on ...

A gas made of particles of light, or photons, becomes easier to compress the more you squash it. This strange property could prove useful in making highly sensitive sensors. While gases are normally ...
