The fields of Quantum Optics and Nonlinear Photonics merge quantum mechanics with advanced photonic engineering to explore and manipulate light at its most fundamental level. This interdisciplinary ...

Physicists have spent more than a century measuring and making sense of the strange ways that photons, electrons, and other subatomic particles interact at extremely small scales. Engineers have spent ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mark A. Novotny, a Mississippi State University William L. Giles Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy, will explore the complex world of quantum mechanics and its rapidly ...

A new study explores the behavior of photons, the elementary particles of light, as they encounter boundaries where material properties change rapidly over time. This research uncovers remarkable ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.—Renowned French scientist Alain Aspect, who won the 2022 Nobel Prize for his pathfinding research in quantum physics, will give a lecture on Monday (May 13) at Purdue University ...

Abstract: Imagine if the act of looking at an object caused it to move – or imagine you had a pair of dice that always rolled doubles, but of different numbers each roll. These counterintuitive ...

Imagine the benefits if the entire internet got a game-changing upgrade to speed and security. This is the promise of the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Caltech president and pioneering physicist Thomas Rosenbaum, an expert in the promising field of quantum physics, will join Purdue University President Mung Chiang in April for ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

A new device uses quantum optics to filter out starlight in real time — bringing scientists closer to directly observing Earth-like worlds. A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" ...

BELLINGHAM, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, and the IBM-HBCU Quantum Center have selected Patrick Flanigan, a principal investigator at North Carolina ...
