From high-speed communication to quantum computing and sensing, the detection, transmission, and manipulation of light ...

Data security on the internet is under threat: in the future, quantum computers could decode even encrypted files sent over ...

In May, a new achievement in the field of quantum science was published in the journal Science, with Chinese scientists ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique ...

Radiation within the visible spectrum can appear black if it is low in power – more specifically, lower in power than its ...

The old approach proposed by Franck and Teller in 1938 and based on the Frenkel exciton theory does not take into ... which the absorption and emission of light occurs. Although Planck’s ...

Plasmonics is a subfield of nanophotonics that is concerned primarily with the manipulation of light at the nanoscale, based on the properties of propagating and localized surface plasmons.

From unifying quantum physics and gravity to working out what is dark matter, the universe has some deep questions that ...

Researchers have developed a novel experimental platform to measure the electric fields of light trapped between two mirrors with a sub-cycle precision. These electro-optic Fabry-Perot resonators will ...

The year was 1900 and Max Planck was a young physicist working on the problem of blackbody radiation . This was an intense ...

Detection is by an inverse mechanism. The terahertz radiation falls on a semiconductor, which is simultaneously excited by light tapped off from the same infrared pulse that generates the ...

Dark matter is thought to outnumber regular matter by a factor of five to one – so why can’t we find the stuff? A new study ...
