Scientists in China have successfully teleported particles farther than ever before, achieving quantum teleportation in free space over a distance of 16 km. Previous experiments had seen quantum...

As we reach single photon resolution in imaging, and go beyond it, we approach a world better described by quantum mechanics than classical mechanics. In ghost imaging, the key principle is to...

Researchers from the Yokohama National University have demonstrated reliable quantum state transfer of photon polarization into a carbon nuclear spin coupled to a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in...

Researchers in Germany and Denmark have discovered that, for the first time, it is possible to teleport between stationary atoms, which can store quantum states, and light, needed to transmit...

The teleportation and swapping of quantum states has been predicted in theory and presumed to be true in reality. Now researchers at Universität Wien in Vienna, Austria, have confirmed the phenomena...

The 2022 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger. The trio will share the prize “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the...

The optics and photonics industry’s preeminent annual conference and exhibition returns to San Francisco’s Moscone Center during Jan. 27 to Feb. 1. Photonics West 2024 will feature more...

The technologies we use in our everyday activities to monitor the world around us — to develop new medicines or to produce the materials we use to build homes, offices, and factories —...

From quantum repeaters and single-photon detectors to space satellites, photonics promises to bring quantum encryption to the mainstream. quantum communications has already been proved possible...

A technique for increasing the time that quantum information is stored in glass fiber-coupled atoms could yield a global optical fiber-based quantum communication network, researchers in Austria have...

Swiss physicists have attained quantum teleportation over more than four times the distance they achieved a decade ago. A team at the University of Geneva has successfully teleported the...

Using a teleporter and a paradoxical cat, researchers have achieved the first-ever transfer of a particular complex set of quantum information from one point to another, opening the way for quantum...

The Optical Society (OSA) announced in early February that Ursula Keller of ETH Zurich would be honored with the society’s highest award. OSA has been announcing winners of its annual awards...

An international research team led by the National University of Singapore (NUS) has generated and detected quantum entanglement onboard a CubeSat nanosatellite weighing less than 2.6 kg and orbiting...

Stanford University researchers have proposed a design for photonic quantum computer that uses readily available components and a laser to manipulate a single atom that can modify the state of the...

Yale University researchers have demonstrated the on-demand teleportation of a quantum gate between two qubits, an advance that could be useful in a modular approach to building quantum computers....

Friends, as promised, I was able to visit Cochin — said to be the 'Queen of the Arabian Sea' — to attend the Annual Photonics' Workshop 2010 (APW 2010), which was held on Feb. 27-28. ...

The European Commission announced the first winners of the quantum Flagship today. The €1 billion ($1.1 billion) funding initiative will support large-scale and long-term research and innovation...

A technique to generate single photons with tailored properties from laser-quality solid-state devices could bring us a step closer to a quantum “Internet.” Single photons will form...
