Quantum Technologies will Offer Ultra-Secure Communications, Precise Sensors and More Powerful Computers

The ability to design and create new materials and pharmaceuticals at a fraction of today’s costs is just one of the possibilities that were described by Professor Jeremy O’Brien at the World Economic Forum meeting of the New Champions 2013 held in Dalian, China.

FQXi Awards Grant for Research on Structure of Quantum Information with Neutron Interferometry

The Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) awards grants to “catalyze, support, and disseminate research on questions at the foundations of physics and cosmology”. The grant awarded to Emerson and his collaborators was one of 37 applications selected for funding this year from a total of 211 initial applications that were submitted by institutions, universities, colleges, laboratories, think tanks and businesses from around the world.

EPFL Research Ranges from Quantum Photonics to Solar Panels

Photonics, the study of light in the broadest sense of the term, plays a major role at EPFL. Almost 30 labs focus on different aspects of photonics, like the design of lasers, construction of high-performance solar cells and development of tomorrow's telecommunications.

New Way to Count Photons

The photodetectors in Alan Migdall’s lab often see no light at all, and that’s a good thing since he and his JQI colleagues perform physics experiments that require very little light, the better to study subtle quantum effects.

Photonic Qubits Teleported With Extreme Reliability

By means of the quantum-mechanical entanglement of spatially separated light fields, researchers in Tokyo and Mainz have managed to teleport photonic qubits with extreme reliability. This means that a decisive breakthrough has been achieved some 15 years after the first experiments in the field of optical teleportation.

Miniature Silicon System Produces Light With Fewer Quantum Fluctuations

One of the many counterintuitive and bizarre insights of quantum mechanics is that even in a vacuum—what many of us think of as an empty void—all is not completely still. Low levels of noise, known as quantum fluctuations, are always present. Always, that is, unless you can pull off a quantum trick. And that's just what a team led by researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has done.

UCLA Researchers to Contribute to Development of the Thirty Meter Telescope

With the signing last week of a "master agreement" for the Thirty Meter Telescope — destined to be the most advanced and powerful optical telescope in the world — the University of California and UCLA moved a step closer to peering deeper into the cosmos than ever before.

Novel Theoretical Approach to Reliably Reset Quantum Dot Qubits

What will a quantum computer look like? It will probably not resemble your laptop. Yet, the semiconductor industry, residing at the heart of modern computing, has features that may carry over. Semiconductors are scalable: today’s processors (2.5 centimeters on a side) hold billions of transistors.
