Slight temperature changes, imperceptible manufacturing imperfections, and heat generated by their own components can completely ruin an entire quantum quantum system-on-chip. Silicon photonics could ...

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 from the School of Physics at Wits University, working with collaborators from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have demonstrated how quantum light can be engineered in space and ...

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 ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

Quantum light sources often produce inconsistent or contaminated single photons, limiting the reliability of quantum technologies. Researchers coated atomically thin tungsten diselenide with a uniform ...

As the year draws to a close, we take a look at some of the biggest science stories of the year, and why they matter.
