Researchers find that a photon can spend a negative amount of time in an excited atomic state while passing through a cloud ...

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the Max Planck Institute have developed a way to produce a web of quantum entangled photons using a far more simple setup than usual. The key is a ...

For a century, Bell Labs has been responsible for one technological breakthrough after another. Now part of Nokia, Bell Labs ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute have developed an efficient new method to drive the quantum entanglement of photons, and demonstrated it by entangling a record number of photons. The technique ...

Remarkably, the physics of the Josephson effect, describing the tunnel coupling of the two superconductors, dictates that photons within the same junction strongly interact with one another, in sharp ...

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the ...

A new platform developed by Illinois Grainger engineers demonstrates the utility of a ytterbium-171 atom array in quantum ...

Scientists seeking to explore the teeming microcosm of quarks and gluons inside protons and neutrons report new data delivered by particles of light. The light particles, or photons, come directly ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

Quarks are elemental particles, with no sub-structure. Understanding them is crucial to learning how physics works on the smallest levels. By studying collisions of incredibly small particles made up ...
