Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

"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 ...

Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust may help unlock the kind of quantum computers people have only dreamed about. Built on ...

Quantum mechanics can explain and recover classical results under some specific approximations. However, deriving quantum mechanical results strictly from classical assumption is generally not ...

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

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

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 ...

Quantum entanglement is often described as a mysterious link between particles, but new research shows it may be even richer ...
