Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...

Researchers from the School of Physics at Wits University, working with collaborators from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have demonstrated how quantum light can be engineered in space and ...

Integrated quantum computing company Quantinuum Ltd. today unveiled new open-source software tools designed to accelerate software development for quantum computing with a more intuitive programming ...

In the classical world, a beam of light is a smooth, continuous wave. In the quantum realm, however, photons manifest as the discrete constituents (quanta) of light. These photons can be carefully ...

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 can be bent, cloaked, and sculpted at scales smaller than a single wavelength ...

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 ...
