Scientists are learning to sculpt photons into powerful new forms, opening the door to high-capacity quantum technologies.

In the strange world of quantum physics, even the tiniest tweak can unlock outsized rewards.

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

A team of researchers in China claims to have made the first conclusive demonstration of ‘quantum advantage’ – using quantum mechanics to perform calculations that would be too slow on classical ...

Controlling light at the level of individual photons could one day do for quantum networks what switching and routing have done for classical internet infrastructure. To help realize that vision, ...

Paris-based quantum networking startup Welinq sold and delivered its first rack-mounted entangled photon pair source. The sale marks the commercial availability of a key photonic component for quantum ...

Schematic of a single photon with zero angular momentum (green) splitting into two photons (red) with either zero or opposite angular momenta (sketched through the spatially varying color), which adds ...

While the basic form of QKD enables information to be transmitted securely, it does have some weak points. One of them is that a malicious third party could steal the key by hacking the devices the ...
