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

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

“Carbon nanotubes are the only quantum emitters that can emit single photons at room temperature and also at wavelengths used for telecommunications,” said Yuichiro Kato of the RIKEN Center for ...

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

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 ...

Researchers find a way to purify photons, clearing major hurdles for faster quantum computers and ultra-secure networks.

Researchers at the University of Iowa have identified a new way to "purify" photons, a development that could improve both the performance and ...

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

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 ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...
