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 ...

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

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

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

Researchers from Wits University and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona show how controlling the structure of photons in space and time enables tailored quantum states for next-generation communication ...

Computers benefit greatly from being connected to the internet, so we might ask: What good is a quantum computer without a quantum internet? The secret to our modern internet is the ability for data ...

Researchers have shown that quantum signals can be sent from Earth up to satellites, not just down from space as previously believed. This breakthrough could make global quantum networks far more ...

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 ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...
