Securely propagating entanglement at the push of a button

Entanglement, Einstein's "spooky action at a distance," today is THE tool of quantum information science. It is the essential resource for quantum computers and used to transmit quantum information in a future quantum network. ...

New method could yield fast, cross-country quantum network

Quantum computers offer powerful ways to improve cybersecurity, communications, and data processing, among other fields. To realize these full benefits, however, multiple quantum computers must be connected to build quantum ...

Novel design for fast, sensitive high-energy photon detector

Prof. Long Shibing and his team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a novel strategy for a high-energy photon detector with high sensitivity ...

New shapes of photons open doors to advanced optical technologies

Researchers from the University of Twente in the Netherlands have gained important insights into photons, the elementary particles that make up light. They 'behave' in an amazingly greater variety than electrons surrounding ...
