Researchers in Austria have entangled matter-based qubits with photonic qubits in a ten-ion system. The technique is scalable to larger ion-qubit registers, paving the way for the creation of larger ...

A single-photon switch uses a quantum emitter, such as a quantum dot or a superconducting qubit, coupled to a nanophotonic ...

Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, recorded the moment a star’s explosion broke through its surface. The nearby supernova, ...

Ars Technica: The Voyager Golden Record is perhaps the best known example of humans attempting to communicate with an alien ...

Mathematics and physics are the language and the tools of the physical world, and the pulsating heart of the deep tech ...

A photonic IC that claims to perform AI tasks 1,000-times faster than Nvidia’s GPUs has been made by China’s Chip Hub for ...

Emerging tech that uses light to boost computer power is already being used in aerospace, biomedicine and finance.
