DALLAS, TX -- When atomic nuclei are smashed together at great speed, resulting temperatures exceed one trillion degrees, 200 million times hotter than the surface of the sun. Scientists who study ...

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

An increasing number of emerging quantum applications operate using optical technologies. Essentially, photons carry information at the speed of light and over long distances, making them good ...

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has gained widespread attention and application across various quantum fields and technologies because it contains single-photon emmiters (SPEs), along with a layered ...

Photon purity is more than a technical detail. In photonic quantum computing, orderly single-photon streams are easier to ...

Quantum entanglement, a phenomenon describing instantaneous correlations between spatially separated particles, has faced challenges from classical alternatives, particularly the "freedom-of-choice" ...

Researchers have found a clever way to make quantum dots, tiny light-emitting crystals, produce streams of perfectly controlled photons without relying on expensive, complex electronics. By using a ...

Future technologies based on the principles of quantum mechanics could revolutionize information technology. But to realize the devices of tomorrow, today’s physicists must develop precise and ...

Currently, quantum photon sources are regularly taken offline to be tested and adjusted using an interferometer. This requires comparing photons multiple times using different configurations, a ...

(Nanowerk News) Single-photon emitters (SPEs) are akin to microscopic lightbulbs that emit only one photon (a quantum of light) at a time. These tiny structures hold immense importance for the ...
