An international team has demonstrated a new method for producing the most intense light ...

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and ...

A closed door feels absolute. Light stays in one room, darkness settles in the next, and the boundary seems obvious enough to ...

In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

New ‘gravity mapping’ hardware could lead to new submarine navigation, ground-penetrating geological sensors, and aerial ...

Two of the forefathers of quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, had a famous argument over whether light is a wave or a particle. Columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan finds that the matter ha ...

Researchers generated stable vortex light in its lowest-energy state using liquid crystal traps and optical confinement.

Using a "spooky" phenomenon of quantum physics, Caltech researchers have discovered a way to double the resolution of light microscopes. In a paper appearing in the journal Nature Communications, a ...

Light is both a wave and a particle – or so we have thought for about a hundred years. Since the advent of quantum physics, light has been understood to exhibit wave-particle duality. One part of this ...

Researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Basel in Switzerland have made a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum technology by demonstrating the manipulation and ...

While the terms "quantum physics" and "Theory of Relativity" are used casually every day, not many people know what they really mean. Yet these theories have had a profound impact not only on science ...
