Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the universe and exploring ...

With the help of magnetic coils and carefully aligned beams, they managed to trap over a million atoms and cool them down to ...

The fields of Quantum Optics and Nonlinear Photonics merge quantum mechanics with advanced photonic engineering to explore and manipulate light at its most fundamental level. This interdisciplinary ...

Quantum optics investigates the behaviour of light and its interactions with matter at the quantum level, revealing phenomena that are absent in classical descriptions. This field encompasses studies ...

In an article published in Communications Physics, researchers from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Institute for ...

A group of European researchers has proposed the largest quantum network yet: Between Earth and the International Space Station. Such a network would see entangled photons transmitted over a distance ...

Convention has it that quantum mechanics and thermodynamics cannot be true simultaneously – so say scientists at the University of Twente (“UT”), The Netherlands. But now, in a new journal paper, UT ...

Schematic of a single photon with zero angular momentum (green) splitting into two photons (red) with either zero or opposite angular momenta (sketched through the spatially varying color), which adds ...

The optical fibers connecting two quantum research labs at the University of Michigan mark the first piece of a local quantum network and remote user ...

Integration into a quantum money protocol shows that memories can now handle very demanding applications for quantum ...

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) is pleased to announce the launch of a new series of optical and nonlinear crystals. The ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...
