An international study has revealed a surprising connection between quantum physics and the theoretical models underlying ...

An international team of researchers has forced light to replicate the quantum Hall effect, a Nobel Prize–winning phenomenon ...

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

Graph (a) shows the two one-dimensional graph states chain (linear cluster) and star on the left, one above the other, and the two-dimensional graph states box and two variants of the ring on the ...

Physicists have manipulated individual particles of light, photons, under ultra-stable laboratory conditions. They split a solitary photon into two distinct lower-energy entities, observing with ...

A pair of photons enters an optical maze, and sometimes they leave as something new. Not new in the everyday sense, since ...

Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care ...

Cables underneath New York City are teeming with entangled quantum particles of light thanks to Qunnect, a company that has ...

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest scales. Photons, the fundamental particles of the electromagnetic field that ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...
