Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

In the classical world, a beam of light is a smooth, continuous wave. In the quantum realm, however, photons manifest as the discrete constituents (quanta) of light. These photons can be carefully ...

Quantum entanglement has long been framed as a strange communication channel between particles, but the latest experiments suggest it can do something more concrete and practical: make light itself ...

Tiny 3D-printed “light cages” are giving researchers a new way to catch and hold individual particles of light on a chip, a ...

Researchers from the School of Physics at Wits University, working with collaborators from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have demonstrated how quantum light can be engineered in space and ...

Quantum information storage is a cornerstone technology for the emerging quantum internet and quantum computation. While current quantum communication ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...
