Researchers Develop New Ultra-Bright Source of Single Photons

A new ultra-bright source of single photons - 15 times brighter than commonly used sources and emitting photons that are 99.5% indistinguishable from one another - has been developed by researchers from the CNRS, Université Paris Diderot, and Université Paris-Sud.

Quantum Vitalscan Enables Medical Professionals to Triage Patients Suffering from Chest Pains

Quantum Imaging, a spinout from Leeds University, is working on a portable device dubbed Quantum Vitalscan that warrants a closer look in this week’s editorial.

Study Results Help Better Understand Fundamental Aspects of Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

The investigation and exploitation of light-matter-interaction in optical resonators is one of the central research topics in the Quantum Dynamics Division of Professor Gerhard Rempe, Director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching. A couple of years ago, the team succeeded in creating single-photon emitters using single atoms stored in optical resonators.

Researchers Entangle Three Particles of Light in High-Dimensional Quantum Property

Researchers at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, the University of Vienna, and the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona have achieved a new milestone in quantum physics: they were able to entangle three particles of light in a high-dimensional quantum property related to the 'twist' of their wavefront structure. The results from their experiment appear in the journal Nature Photonics.

UCSB Research Team Aims to Reveal Hitherto Invisible Ultrafast Processes in Matter

When is a solid not a real solid? When it’s a lattice of ultracold atoms held in place not by the covalent and ionic bonds that bind the atoms of “real” solids together — like your chair or your cellular phone — but by light waves.

Researchers Use FERMI Laser Light to Control Ultrafast Movement of Electrons

An international team has used the light produced by the Free Electron Laser FERMI at the research Centre Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste in the AREA Science Park to control the ultrafast movement of electrons. The experiment, published in the journal Nature Photonics, opens the way to the study of more complex processes which occur in nature on the scale of attoseconds (billionths of a billionth of a second), such as photosynthesis, combustion, catalysis and atmospheric chemistry.

Graphene Environment Plays an Important Theoretical Concept in Quantum Physics

Electrical resistance is considered a simple concept, and is similar to friction. While friction slows down objects rolling over a surface, electrical resistance slows the transfer of electrons via a conductive material. Two physicists have discovered that electrons can assist in turning resistance on its head, resulting in the production of vortices and a backward flow of electricity.

Scientists Generate Quantum Logic Operation Showing Incredible Resilience to External Influences

While a classical bit found in conventional electronics exists only in binary one or zero states, the more resourceful quantum bit, or ‘qubit,’ is represented by a vector, pointing to a simultaneous combination of the one and zero states. To fully implement a qubit, it is necessary to control the direction of this qubit’s vector, which is generally done using fine-tuned and noise-isolated procedures.

Berkeley Lab Astrophysicist to Lead Multi-Institute Team to Explore Dark Energy

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley will play a role in an upcoming space telescope project, formally set in motion this week by NASA, that will explore the mysteries of the expanding universe and observe alien worlds circling distant suns, among other science aims.

Astronomers Measure Rotation of Massive Exoplanet Using Direct Imaging

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have measured the rotation rate of an extreme exoplanet by observing the varied brightness in its atmosphere. This is the first measurement of the rotation of a massive exoplanet using direct imaging.
