"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

“Photon Design's next-generation, EPIPPROP simulator, will offer the flexibility to split waveguides, simulating this process ...
