In the classical world, a beam of light is a smooth, continuous wave. In the quantum realm, however, photons manifest as the discrete constituents (quanta) of light. These photons can be carefully ...

Light is the workhorse of quantum technology, but in the real world it is messy, noisy and full of unwanted fluctuations that ...

For years, physicists treated an Earth-to-space quantum uplink as a beautiful idea that nature simply would not allow. Now a ...

The impact of quantum computing spreads across a much wider range than you might think. For instance, in healthcare, research can feel as if it is progressing at the speed of light. In cybersecurity, ...
