A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

A study takes this GHZ paradox to new heights to see just how non - classical the quantum world can get. In the process, their experiment included photons in 37 dimensions, taking science even further ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

Light, whether from a star or your flashlight, travels at 186,000 miles per second. Artur Debat/Moment via Getty Images My telescope, set up for astrophotography in my light-polluted San Diego ...

Engineers at Stanford have created a new optical device that can easily manipulate light into basically any color desired. The system uses a series of modulators to fine-tune the frequencies of ...

Researchers propose an unconventional way to generate light made from entangled photons. In the graphic above, photons meet the electrons of a helium atom, which then emits two entangled photons.

This massive particle could serve as the connection between dark matter and the everyday matter that comprises stars, planets and us. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

I guess it's like how we use the square root of minus one to solve various equations. It sounda impossible but actually works! Click to expand... Sort've, but I don't think they're going into the ...

Light is usually treated as something simple, a clean beam that either shines or does not. At the quantum level, however, ...
