Exploiting photon colors for a high-performance quantum internet

Data security on the internet is under threat: in the future, quantum computers could decode even encrypted files sent over the internet in no time. Researchers worldwide are, therefore, experimenting with quantum networks ...

Researchers develop first-of-its-kind quantum gate

A recent study led by quantum researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory proved popular among the science community interested in building a more reliable quantum network.

Compact camera can identify objects at the speed of light

Collaboration can be a beautiful thing, especially when people work together to create something new. Take, for example, a longstanding collaboration between Arka Majumdar, a University of Washington (UW) professor of electrical ...

Researchers explore new basis for integrated all-optical logic

A research team from Skoltech and ITMO university has obtained tunable polariton emission at room temperature on CsPbBr3 perovskite crystals as a promising platform for integration into lateral microchips—a new concept ...
