Researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Faculty of Arts and ...

Two physicists at the University of Konstanz are developing a method that could enable the stable exchange of information in quantum computers. In the leading role: photons that make quantum bits "fly ...

Physicists have long recognized the value of photonic graph states in quantum information processing. However, the difficulty ...

Scientists used entangled X-ray photon pairs to produce ghost images of tiny samples, a proof of concept that could enable longer, lower-dose studies of delicate biological materials.

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the Max Planck Institute have developed a way to produce a web of quantum entangled photons using a far more simple setup than usual. The key is a ...

Research reveals how close human vision comes to sensing the smallest possible unit of light. Here’s why that matters for perception.

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest scales. Photons, the fundamental particles of the electromagnetic field that ...
