When you turn on a lamp to brighten a room, you are experiencing light energy transmitted as photons, which are small, discrete quantum packets of energy. These photons must obey the sometimes strange ...

Researchers developed a chip-based single-phonon directional coupler that carries out controllable splitting and achieves quantum-level performance. The device could enable microscopic on-chip routers ...

In quantum world, particles like photons can behave like particles (localized points) or waves (spreading out, showing interference patterns). The classic double-slit experiment is a good ...

Researchers from Delft University of Technology have made a breakthrough that could alter the future of quantum technology. They created a chip-based device that can split phonons—the quantized ...

Device could help link different quantum systems, supporting advances in computing and secure communication. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have created a chip-based device that can split phonons — tiny ...
