Light can tell you a lot about what matter is doing. Visible light shows a surface. X-rays reveal hidden structure. Infrared ...

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

Quantum computing has long promised to crack problems that defeat even the fastest supercomputers, but the hardware has ...

Essentially, the quantum metric creates a “geometric” drag on the electrons. When the magnetic field is applied, it breaks ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Technique lays the groundwork for neutral-atom quantum computers with more than 100 000 qubits, say physicists ...

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Quantum technologies, devices and systems that process, store, detect, or transfer information leveraging quantum mechanical ...

Researchers from Wits University and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona show how controlling the structure of photons in space and time enables tailored quantum states for next-generation communication ...

Just a few years ago, many researchers in quantum computing thought it would take several decades to develop machines that ...

EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.
