You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

Light is usually treated as something simple, a clean beam that either shines or does not. At the quantum level, however, ...

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

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

A research team from the University of Stuttgart in Germany recently made a breakthrough when they teleported quantum information between distant origins. The paper was published in the journal Nature ...

Researchers find a way to purify photons, clearing major hurdles for faster quantum computers and ultra-secure networks.

A chip-scale interface entangles light and electronic states without cryogenic cooling, bringing quantum networking hardware ...

The theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) underpins our understanding of the strong interaction, governing how quarks and gluons interact to form hadrons. One of the most promising nonperturbative ...

Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem. When you purchase ...

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