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 ...

Terahertz pulses induce chirality in a non-chiral crystal

Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed onto their mirror images through any combination of rotations or translations, much like the distinct left and right hands of a human. In chiral crystals, the spatial ...

Detecting edges of images at the speed of light

Physicists from the group of Jorik van de Groep at the UvA-Institute of Physics have devised a new method that can be used to detect edges of images in an extremely energy efficient and ultrafast way. The results were recently ...

Compact comb lights the way for next-gen photonics

In the world of modern optics, frequency combs are invaluable tools. These devices act as rulers for measuring light, enabling breakthroughs in telecommunications, environmental monitoring, and even astrophysics. But building ...
