A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

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 ...

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

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, revealing light-like particles with a strikingly high-dimensional character. By ...

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to powering quantum computers using quantum batteries—a breakthrough that could make future computers faster, more reliable, and more energy efficient.

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a revolutionary new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

Can quantum physics enable better, cheaper, faster satellite photos? In a month or two, a startup will test a “quantum camera” for space-based imaging. If it works, it could slash the cost of missile ...
