Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

A new kind of mirror is emerging from quantum physics labs, one that exists not as a chunk of polished glass but as a ...

Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

A further benefit is that the channels can be multiplexed, allowing many quantum processors to access the system at the same ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

The theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) underpins our understanding of the strong interaction, governing how quarks and gluons interact to form hadrons. One of the most promising nonperturbative ...

Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem. When you purchase ...

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