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 ...

Monarch Quantum applies advanced systems engineering methodologies to translate mission-level flow-down requirements into subsystem and component specifications. This structured approach mitigates ...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a single photon can carry. This leap could make quantum communication more ...

Researchers from Wits University and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona show how controlling the structure of photons in space and time enables tailored quantum states for next-generation communication ...

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 ...

Tiny 3D-printed “light cages” are giving researchers a new way to catch and hold individual particles of light on a chip, a capability that has long been a missing ingredient for a practical quantum ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...

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 ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable storage of quantum information. The structures can be fabricated with extreme ...
