Researchers in the US have revealed that an emerging class of quantum sensors, called ...

The DOE's Argonne National Laboratory has launched its Activated Materials Lab to study radiation effects in nuclear reactor materials.

A pair of photons enters an optical maze, and sometimes they leave as something new. Not new in the everyday sense, since both were still photons when they came out.

In 1927, Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the nature of what’s known as complementarity—the idea that a photon’s dual wave-like and particle natures can’t be measured at the same time. Now, two ...

Physicists have now teleported the quantum state of a single photon between distant quantum dots, turning a long theorized building block of the quantum internet into a working device. By reliably ...

Physicists have long relied on elegant theorems to connect the abstract math of quantum theory with the tangible behavior of particles, yet some of those theorems have rested on assumptions that never ...
