In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have successfully captured the precise shape of a single photon, marking a ...

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 ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute have developed an efficient new method to drive the quantum entanglement of photons, and demonstrated it by entangling a record number of photons. The technique ...

Pulses of light comprising around 100,000 entangled photons have been created by physicists in Germany and Russia. The pulses were made in the “squeezed-vacuum” state and the team found that the ...

New device emits photons in telecom fiber band from the start, so it avoids a separate converter that can waste photons.

Seven billion years ago, three cosmic travelers set out together on an epic journey to Earth. They've just arrived, and they bring news of the great beyond. Their surprising story could overturn ...

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the Max Planck Institute have developed a way to produce a web of quantum entangled photons using a far more simple setup than usual. The key is a ...

As far as particles of light are concerned, the collective is more important than the individual. When they get to decide ...

On and off: Better, simpler control of single-photon emissions opens the door to new platforms in quantum research. (Courtesy: art-skvortsova/iStockphoto) Researchers ...

Seven billion years ago, three cosmic travelers set out together on an epic journey to Earth. They just arrived, and the trio has a surprising tale to tell about the structure of the universe. Their ...
