Over the past decade, researchers have become good at creating devices that emit single ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated how quantum dots can be engineered to consistently generate pairs of entangled photons. By carefully tailoring the photonic environment ...

Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of ...

Physicists have now teleported the quantum state of a single photon between distant quantum dots, turning a long theorized building block of the quantum internet into a working device. By reliably ...

In 1927, Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the nature of what’s known as complementarity—the idea that a photon’s dual wave-like and particle natures can’t be measured at the same time. Now, two ...

An international collaboration of researchers, led by Philip Walther at University of Vienna, have achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum technology, with the successful demonstration of ...
