Quantum Approach Measures Optical Molecular Activity With Precision

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Quantum optical rotatory dispersion, a technique that uses quantum methods to differentiate and measure molecules when light passes through chiral media, could offer a precise way to measure intricate molecular properties, even when low light or a low concentration of the molecule is used. An illustration of the quantum measurement of optical rotatory dispersion. Courtesy of Ralf Erlinger. Using multi-wavelength entangled photon pairs, researchers at Macquarie University and the University of Vienna measured the optical activity and optical rotatory dispersion exhibited by a solution...Read full article

    quantum optics
    The area of optics in which quantum theory is used to describe light in discrete units or "quanta" of energy known as photons. First observed by Albert Einstein's photoelectric effect, this particle description of light is the foundation for describing the transfer of energy (i.e. absorption and emission) in light matter interaction.
