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

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

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 ...

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

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

Scientists achieve optical measurements at atomic scales using quantum electron tunneling, surpassing conventional microscopy limits by nearly 100,000 times with standard lasers.

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

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 ...

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.
