Entangled Photons Could Advance Quantum Cryptography

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Three photons have been experimentally entangled in a high-dimensional quantum property related to the “twist” of their wavefront structure, a milestone achievement for quantum physics. Entanglement is a counterintuitive property of quantum physics that scientists and philosophers have long studied; entangled quanta of light seem to exert an influence on each other, irrespective of how much distance is between them. Researchers at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, the University of Vienna, and the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona achieved the...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
