Large-scale quantum communication networks require both reliable quantum memories and coherent single-photon sources that can ...

Dark matter detection 2026: XENONnT set world-leading limits on axion-like particles and dark photons using 7.83 tonne-years ...

Researchers achieved that by combining mercury telluride colloidal quantum dots, which absorb infrared light, and a ...

Quantum objects, such as electrons and photons, behave differently from other objects in ways that enable quantum technology. Therein lies the key to unlocking the mystery of quantum entanglement, in ...

While many research groups worldwide have been searching for dark matter over the past decades, detecting it has so far proved very challenging, thus very little is known about its possible ...

A single photon carrying quantum information had to travel more than 24 kilometers through an optical fiber already crowded ...

Accelerated bodies modify quantum vacuum fluctuations, causing emission of photon pairs from the vacuum 4 and dissipation of the bodies' motional energy. The power dissipated in the motion of the body ...

I have completely lost count of how many times I have read phrases like, “Consider a light source that emits photon pairs that are indistinguishable.” This indistinguishability, along with the ability ...

Researchers exploring the interactions between light particles, photons and matter find that optical microresonators host quasiparticles made by two photons. Scientists at the University of Bath in ...
