There are few technologies more fundamental to modern life than the ability to control light with precision. From fiber-optic communications to quantum sensors, the manipulation of photons underpins ...

A long-standing bottleneck in photonic quantum technology may finally be easing. Researchers in Germany ...

Researchers are learning to flip light on and off one particle at a time, turning single photons into a controllable resource instead of a random byproduct of exotic materials. By engineering ...

There are few technologies more fundamental to modern life than the ability to control light with precision. From fiber-optic communications to quantum sensors, the manipulation of photons underpins ...

The proposed method uses a single rare-earth ion, trapped inside a tapered optical fiber, to directly generate and guide single photons within the fiber, representing a key low-cost component for ...

A team of researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg led by Prof. Stefanie Barz (University of Stuttgart) has demonstrated a source of single photons ...

Operating at room temperature, this nanoscale device leverages silicon photonics to achieve high-performance spin control, essential for quantum communication.

2025 is the Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Armed with deep research and timely dose of EU funding, what began as a risky idea in Copenhagen has become one of Europe's most scientifically and ...

Quantum technologies, devices and systems that process, store, detect, or transfer information leveraging quantum mechanical ...

Researchers at Purdue University have achieved a long-sought milestone, demonstrating what they call a “photonic transistor” that operates at single-photon intensities. There are few technologies more ...
