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…

With potential applications that range from detecting greenhouse gases to making self-driving vehicles safer, there has…

Iridian will design and manufacture custom narrow band filters to enable

The NexviewTM 650 is the latest addition to the NexviewTM range of 3D optical profilers from ZYGO, which are all charact…

Light pulses were injected into a silicon waveguide were selectively turned off when another light pulse struck the vana…

The technology will form a central component in a world-first trial of end-to-end quantum-secured communications for 5G…

EO has released Nonlinear Crystals, which have high laser-induced damage thresholds, and TECHSPEC® Superpolished Substra…

Physicists at MPQ have developed a novel photonic instrument to non-destructively reveal the entanglement of two distant atomic qubits.

Their idea is to use photons as a mediator of information. Following the analogy above, the physicists added two photons…
