A new way of capturing light from atoms could finally unlock ultra-powerful, million-qubit quantum computers. After decades of effort, researchers may finally be closing in on a practical path toward ...

Scientists have used a new method to determine the characteristics of optical, i.e. light-based, quantum states. For the first time, they are using certain photon detectors -- devices that can detect ...

Ok, it's been almost a decade since I've had to study Maxwell's equations, but I remember a certain facet from those equations that always astounded me. It was the fact that the speed of light could ...

Experimental principle of electro-optic cavities (EOCs) measuring the multiple echoes of the THz light field (red) with a visible probe pulse (green) during a nonlinear interaction inside a ...

We don't usually think in terms of a "volume of light." We tend to speak of brightness. But the amount of anything available in a given space is called a volume. "Please pass a quart of light" sounds ...

For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time'. When you shine light through almost any transparent material, the gridlock of ...

Ophir Optronics Inc. has introduced two new measurement heads. The PD300-BB radiometer head has a spectrally flat response from 400-1,000 nm. and is recommended when the power measurement of broadband ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at Paderborn University have used a new method to determine the characteristics of optical, i.e. light-based, quantum states. For the first time, they are using certain ...
