Scientists have developed a new way to manufacture semiconductor quantum dots that emit faster ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum computer: The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it ...

A breakthrough experiment led by a team from the University of Stuttgart in Germany brings a quantum internet a step closer, with physicists teleporting a quantum state between photons produced by ...

Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of individual photons and, ideally, pairs of entangled photons. Semiconductor ...

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and partner institutions have developed a photonic ...
