A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Researchers have developed a technique that makes high-dimensional quantum information encoded in light more practical and reliable. The advancement could pave the way for more secure data ...

Physicists are quietly rewriting the rulebook for how we might cross the gulf between stars, not by bolting bigger rockets to ...

IonQ claims to have achieved a significant quantum breakthrough, successfully demonstrating the frequency conversion of photons from visible to telecom wavelengths. The breakthrough, achieved during ...

A research team from the University of Stuttgart in Germany recently made a breakthrough when they teleported quantum information between distant origins. The paper was published in the journal Nature ...

Any time you use a device to communicate information—an email, a text message, any data transfer—the information in that transmission crosses the open internet, where it could be intercepted. Such ...

Light is usually treated as something simple, a clean beam that either shines or does not. At the quantum level, however, ...

A team of researchers has developed a technique that makes high-dimensional quantum information encoded in light more practical and reliable. This advancement, published in Physical Review Letters, ...
