A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...

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

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Controlled generation of single-photon emitters in silicon (red) by broad-beam implantation of ions (blue) through a lithographically defined mask (left) and by a scanned focused ion beam (right).

Not long ago, in the early 1990s, scientists only speculated that teleportation using quantum physics could be possible. Since then, the process has become a standard operation in quantum optics labs ...

Photons are indeed massless, but they still travel through our universe. You can picture the fabric of the cosmos as a sort of grid — one that is four-dimensional and incorporates not only the three ...
