Aarhus University has announced the inauguration of its second particle accelerator ASTRID2, which will serve as one of the ultimate x-ray sources of the world.
According to Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one of the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, taking measurements of anything is not possible without causing disturbance to it.
A multi-institute research team, which also includes scientists from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), has successfully teleported quantum data between the Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife, covering a record distance of 143 km over free space.
Researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) of the U.S. Department of Energy and the University of California (UC) Berkeley have for the first time directly observed distinctly quantum optical phenomena, namely amplification and squeezing, in an optomechanical system.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has demonstrated that a new technique for splitting photon beams could tackle a basic physical barrier in electronic data transmission.
A research team comprising Filippo Miatto and other physicists from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, has discovered a new technique to reliably evaluate the information carried by photon pairs utilized for quantum computing and cryptography applications.
A research team has developed an advanced experimental system that is capable of producing attosecond bursts of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light.
Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Politecnico di Milano, and the University of California (UC), San Diego, have shown the first heralded single photon source generated from silicon, a significant step towards the realization of more realistic quantum information processing.
Researchers at NIST have developed a novel way of producing light pulses that are "superluminal"—in some sense they travel faster than the speed of light. The new method could be used to improve the timing of communications signals and to investigate the propagation of quantum correlations.
In the age of high-speed computing, the photon is king. However, producing the finely tuned particles of light is a complex and time-consuming process, until now.
