The X-ray beam from the world’s largest X-ray laser, the European XFEL, only becomes as clearly visible as in the photo in complete darkness and…
Researchers have pioneered a technique for swiftly and efficiently reconstructing the full quantum state of entangled particles, utilizing advanced camera technology to visualize the wave…
Imperial physicists have performed the double-slit experiment in time, using materials that can change optical properties in femtoseconds, providing insights into the nature of light…
Illustration of a chaotic-cavity surface-emitting laser array. This new class of laser array combines the advantages of chaotic cavities and the surface-emission configuration to enable…
Diagram illustrates the way two laser beams of slightly different wavelengths can affect the electric fields surrounding an atomic nucleus, pushing against this field in…
Bose-Einstein condensates are a state of matter predicted by Albert Einstein and Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose in the 1920s. In this state, a group…
A ring of superconducting qubits can host “bound states” of microwave photons, where the photons tend to clump on neighboring qubit sites. Credit: Google Quantum…
In this artist’s rendering of a metasurface, light passes through tiny, rectangular structures — the building blocks of the metasurface — and creates pairs of…
The finding of the Majorana boson demonstrates that photons can be “split” into halves. Credit: Animation by LaDarius Dennison Research predicts the existence of a…
Rice physicists teamed with colleagues at Europe’s Large Hadron Collider to study matter-generating collisions of light. Researchers showed the departure angle of debris from the…
