A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

COLLEGE PARK, MD – February 22, 2024 – Quantum computing company IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) today announced it has generated photons entangled with ions repeatedly and reproducibly, creating a quantum state ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

Controlled generation of single-photon emitters in silicon (red) by broad-beam implantation of ions (blue) through a lithographically defined mask (left) and by a scanned focused ion beam (right).

Data security on the internet is under threat: in the future, quantum computers could decode even encrypted files sent over the internet in no time. Researchers worldwide are, therefore, experimenting ...
