Researchers create new state of light
University of Dayton researchers became the first to create a new “state of light” and showed it also can rotate around a transverse axis perpendicular to the direction light travels, like a cyclone. This new
Quantum computing with exciton-polariton condensates
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have presented a complete theoretical scheme of quantum computing with exciton-polariton condensates formed in semiconductor micropillars. Exciton-polariton condensates have attractive features for quantum computation, e.g., room temperature operation, high
Defects may be responsible for messy behavior in quantum materials
Researchers are investigating light-emitting defects in materials that may someday form the basis of quantum-based technologies, such as quantum computers, quantum networks or engines that run on light. Once understood, these defects can become controllable
QuintessenceLabs secures funding from In-Q-Tel
Australian-based QuintessenceLabs, a company providing quantum-cybersecurity solutions, announced today that it secured an investment from In-Q-Tel, Inc. (IQT), the non-profit strategic investor that accelerates the development and delivery of cutting-edge technologies to the national security
Berkeley Lab to tackle particle physics with Quantum Computing
Massive-scale particle physics produces correspondingly large amounts of data and this is particularly true of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator, which is housed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research
Quantum teleportation using highly coherent emission from telecom C-band quantum dots
A practical way to link separate nodes in quantum networks is to send photons over the standard telecom fibre network. This requires sub-Poissonian photon sources in the wavelength band around 1550 nm, with photon coherence times
CERN first measurements of certain quantum effects in antimatter
The ALPHA collaboration at CERN has reported the first measurements of certain quantum effects in the energy structure of antihydrogen, the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen. These quantum effects are known to exist in matter, and
Physicists grab individual atoms in groundbreaking experiment
In a first for quantum physics, University of Otago researchers have “held” individual atoms in place and observed previously unseen complex atomic interactions. The team has investigated this quantum process, which until now was only
Are biological processes experts in Quantum Physics?
The intriguing, upcoming field of quantum biology by Olivier Loose. Scientific inquiry can be a lesson in humility. Astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus taught us this in the sixteenth century when submitting the hypothesis that the Sun is sitting
What if we could teach photons to behave like electrons?
A Stanford-led team has created a pseudo-magnetic force that can precisely control photons. In the short term, this control mechanism could be used to send more internet data through fiber optic cables. In the future, this discovery
