Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that ...

Light is the workhorse of quantum technology, but in the real world it is messy, noisy and full of unwanted fluctuations that ...

Research shows twisting light-matter coupling can unlock unusual topological phenomena, advancing nanophotonics and quantum ...

Quantum mechanics can explain and recover classical results under some specific approximations. However, deriving quantum mechanical results strictly from classical assumption is generally not ...

A chip-scale interface entangles light and electronic states without cryogenic cooling, bringing quantum networking hardware ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique ...

Quantum entanglement is often described as a mysterious link between particles, but new research shows it may be even richer ...

Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem. When you purchase ...
