3 Questions Interview
Oct 1, 2013 — Light is critical to life day in and day out, but John Dudley leads a group that wants to celebrate light for the entire year of 2015. Dudley, from South Auckland, New Zealand, holds Bachelor of Science and Ph.D. degrees from the University of...
Quantum mystery of light revealed
BRISTOL, UK, and NICE, France – A unique setup involving an integrated photonic quantum chip in a quantum beamsplitter is helping to answer one of the most fundamental questions in physics: Is light made of waves or particles? Debates on the particle-wave theories of light have...
Photons Observed as Particles, Waves Simultaneously
BRISTOL, England, and NICE, France, Nov. 5, 2012 — It is well-known that photons can act like waves or particles, depending on how they are measured experimentally. But they have never been seen exhibiting both behaviors at the same time — until now. The particle-wave theories of light were...
Plasmon wave propagates for 80 µm with no diffraction
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A needlelike beam of light that propagates for an unprecedented distance of 80 µm without spreading could greatly reduce signal loss for on-chip optical systems and might eventually aid development of more powerful microprocessors. The...
