Researchers have designed a new device that can efficiently create multiple frequency-entangled photons, a feat that cannot be achieved with today's optical devices. The new approach could open a path ...

Physicists at the University of Stuttgart, Germany have teleported a quantum state between photons generated by two different ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

Tiny 3D-printed “light cages” are giving researchers a new way to catch and hold individual particles of light on a chip, a ...

Alessandro Fedrizzi is in the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh EH14 AS, UK. Read the paper: Energy–speed relationship of quantum particles challenges ...

Thousands of particles of light can merge into a type of 'super photon' under suitable conditions. Physicists call such a state a photon Bose-Einstein condensate. Researchers have now shown that this ...

Researchers, in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, introduce a new mechanism that may finally allow ultralight dark photons to be considered serious candidates for dark matter, with promising ...

A core tenet of quantum theory was imperilled this year when a team of researchers put forward a radical new interpretation of an experiment about the nature of light. At the centre of the new work ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in quantum physics, successfully creating a supersolid state using light for the first time. This achievement, led by researchers at CNR Nanotec in Italy, opens ...

Quantum physicists are familiar with wonky, seemingly nonsensical phenomena: atoms and molecules sometimes act as particles, sometimes as waves; particles can be connected to one another by a “spooky ...

Earth’s rotation has been measured many times over — but never like this. In a first, scientists used entangled quantum particles called photons to reveal the rate at which the globe spins. The feat ...
