The theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) underpins our understanding of the strong interaction, governing how quarks and gluons interact to form hadrons. One of the most promising nonperturbative ...

Researchers have developed a revolutionary new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and optical loss from the sample are present. (Nanowerk News) ...

Light was long considered to be a wave, exhibiting the phenomenon of interference in which ripples like those in water waves are generated under specific interactions. Light also bends around corners, ...

Researchers from Wits University and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona show how controlling the structure of photons in space and time enables tailored quantum states for next-generation communication ...

Quantum computing has long promised to crack problems that defeat even the fastest supercomputers, but the hardware has ...

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 ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...

Quantum light is moving from blackboard equations into engineered hardware, and the shift is starting to redraw the map of advanced technology. By sculpting individual photons in space, time and ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...

Quantum memories can extend network range via repeaters. A new approach uses 3D-nanoprinted 'light cages' filled with atomic vapor, enabling scalable on-chip quantum storage. (Nanowerk News) Quantum ...
