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

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

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner ...

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

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

Researchers created carbon nanotubes that emit one photon from a single controllable point, enabling temperature quantum ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher energy photons than visible light and, thus, has more applications. Researchers have now developed a brilliant innovation -- a solid-state material that can stably ...

Engineers at Stanford have created a new optical device that can easily manipulate light into basically any color desired. The system uses a series of modulators to fine-tune the frequencies of ...

Photons, the elementary particles that make up light, are known to be fast, weightless and to not interact with each other. But in new experiments, physicists at MIT and Harvard have now created a new ...

For the first time, scientists have watched groups of three photons interacting and effectively producing a new form of light. In results published in Science, researchers suggest that this new light ...

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 ...

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