Physicists have manipulated individual particles of light, photons, under ultra-stable laboratory conditions. They split a ...

A future quantum internet could transmit information using pairs of entangled photons — meaning the particles share information over time and space regardless of distance.

Many-Worlds Interpretation Challenged As Photon Seems To Be In Two Places At Once A new twist on a classic experiment has shown that photons might really take two paths at the same time.

Measurements with confined photons challenge a prediction that particles that ‘quantum tunnel’ into infinitely long barriers will get stuck.

A study from Technion unveils a newly discovered form of quantum entanglement in the total angular momentum of photons confined in nanoscale structures. This discovery could play a key role in the ...

Dark photons in the early universe frequently formed cosmic string networks due to kinetic mixing with ordinary photons, preventing them from surviving as individual dark matter particles.

The decades-old question of whether humans can see individual photons is on the brink of being answered thanks to advances in quantum optics. A positive result would let us use human observers as ...

In this new UC Riverside-led study, astronomers directly measured the fraction of ionizing photons escaping from the Cosmic Horseshoe, a distant galaxy that is gravitationally lensed.

Photons collide in the void: Quantum simulation creates light out of nothing Date: June 8, 2025 Source: University of Oxford Summary: Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum ...

Developing a quantum internet requires the research team to produce “entangled” photons, meaning they are linked together despite being widely distanced and run across fiber-optic cables ...
