A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

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

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

In the strange corner of modern physics where spacetime itself becomes the engine, the old rule that nothing can outrun light ...

Gravitational wave facilities measure distortions in the fabric of spacetime down to 10 quadrillionths the width of a hair – small enough to hear interference from particles popping in and out of ...

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three scientists who created pulses of light so short they can be used to watch the inner workings of atoms. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and ...
