It is possible to image an object with an induced coherence effect by making use of photon pairs to gain information on the item of interest—without detecting the light probing it. While one photon illuminates the object, ...
Researchers have developed an easy-to-build, low-cost 3D nanoprinting system that can create arbitrary 3D structures with extremely fine features. The new 3D nanoprinting technique is precise enough to print metamaterials ...

Chinese astronomers have used the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) to observe the latest outburst of a low-mass X-ray binary system known as GX 339-4. They detected new quasi-periodic oscillations in this source. Their ...
Researchers have developed a quantum key distribution (QKD) system based on integrated photonics that can transmit secure keys at unprecedented speeds. The proof-of-principle experiments represent an important step toward ...

Scalable photonic quantum computing architectures require photonic processing devices. Such platforms rely on low-loss, high-speed, reconfigurable circuits and near-deterministic resource state generators. In a new report ...
We're building the tools to trap ions and watch them glow (or not). The art-deco-esque device shown above is a combined trap for ions (charged atoms) and detector for individual photons (particles of light). When you hold ...
