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

Researchers demonstrate that by shaping the spatial and temporal structure of photons, they can engineer customized quantum states suited for next-generation communication, sensing, and imaging ...

SPADs employ an avalanche process to generate significant current from a single photon. That results in higher power ...

Any time you use a device to communicate information—an email, a text message, any data transfer—the information in that ...

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 ...

Researchers have shown that quantum signals can be sent from Earth up to satellites, not just down from space as previously ...

Researchers are learning to flip light on and off one particle at a time, turning single photons into a controllable resource ...

Astronomers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and UCLA will develop a next-generation instrument for detecting and ...

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the ...

A new mesoporous polymer combines optical transparency higher than glass with thermal conductivity lower than air. The ...

Scientists have developed a so-called "snake vision" that uses a CMOS with a quantum dot layer that can detect infrared ...

Programmable photonics promise faster and more energy-efficient computing than traditional electronics by using light to transmit signals. However ...
