MIT Physicists Create a New Form of Light Where Photons Interact
Try a quick experiment: Take two flashlights into a dark room and shine them so that their light beams cross. Notice anything peculiar? The rather…
Entanglement Can Improve Optical Sensor Performance
A new study from MIT demonstrates that entanglement can improve the performance of optical sensors, even when it doesn’t survive light’s interaction with the environment….
Scientists Make Headway in Quantum Information Transfer
Scientists from UC Santa Barbara are making headway in quantum information transfer. They recently published a new study that describes a nanomechanical transducer that provides…
Encoded Photons Using Quantum Cryptography Sent a Record Distance
Quantum encryption systems, which encode signals into a series of single photons, have had trouble sending them along optical fibers. Until now, it has been…
