Complementarity relation of wave-particle duality is analyzed quantitatively with entangled photons as path detectors

The device generates coherent signal photons that are used for quantum interference measurement. The quantons then trave…

The experiment now reported in the journal Nature creates new opportunities to further investigate the fundamental physi…

The pioneering Optalysys E series of optical processing technologies provides the solution to this problem by performing…

The collaboration focussed on photonic nano-antennas fabricated in ever reducing sizes on the top of a two-dimensional e…

Method separates 'real' from background noise in quantum systems

In combination with Q-CTRL’s existing quantum control techniques, the researchers were also able to minimise the impact…

In practical terms, an approach that allows for directional control of light using thin-film LEDs makes it possible to d…

The researchers note that photons are inevitably lost through unwanted scattering and absorption as they travel through…

Using a tightly focused laser beam, the sphere is made to hover in an optical trap inside a vacuum container cooled down…

To take advantage of the quantum nature of nanoparticles, the wave function of the particles must be greatly expanded. I…

Scientists at MPQ succeed for the first time in teleporting quantum information encoded in an atomic qubit to a laboratory 60 meters away using just one single photon as a resource.

Quantum teleportation therefore does not transfer matter – the atoms remain in their place – but only their stored infor…

An efficient two-bit quantum logic gate has been out of reach, until now

When a single photon enters a logic gate, nothing notable happens — it goes in and comes out. But when there are two pho…

Researchers developed a single metasurface that can effectively tune the different properties of laser light

When light from the diode hits the supercells on the metasurface, part of the light is reflected back, creating a laser…

At the same time, the new method allows new insights into the structure of the quantum state to be obtained. The physici…

Single photons or qubits of light, as they are also called, are extremely difficult to hack. However, in order for these…

By correlating polarization to the colour of a pulsed laser, the team can track changes in the spectrum of the light by…

Technion scientists succeed in drastically simplifying the production of optical components used across industries

The scientists developed a novel process of manufacturing these elements – a method that significantly simplifies the pr…

This was achieved because the Innsbruck quantum physicists have an ion trap in which they can precisely set the distance…

In a Nano Optics Breakthrough, Technion Researchers Observe Sound-Light Pulses in 2D Materials for the first time

The scientists shone pulses of light along the edge of a 2D material, producing in the material the hybrid sound-light w…
