For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the ...

A new way of capturing light from atoms could finally unlock ultra-powerful, million-qubit quantum computers. After decades of effort, researchers may finally be closing in on a practical path toward ...

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

Stanford physicists have engineered a sophisticated optical cavity capable of harvesting single photons from individual atoms.

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to new research that could help scale up an emerging quantum computing approach ...

A burst of invisible light can do more than illuminate a surface. In a new study, Michigan State University researchers used ...

Measuring the world precisely is much harder than it sounds. At very small scales, ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...
