For quantum communication to work, light sources must emit photons one at a time, not in random bunches. Several materials ...

Photon purity is more than a technical detail. In photonic quantum computing, orderly single-photon streams are easier to ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

Researchers have uncovered a method to purify a photon stream that is central to quantum circuitry. University of Iowa ...

Physicists manage to protect quantum information from noise using skyrmions, a key advance for networks and quantum computing ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Instead of transmitting electrical signals, this technology uses individual particles of light—photons—encoded in delicate quantum states. One of its key advantages: any attempt to intercept or tamper ...

Traditional computers rely on electrons to perform computational tasks, but electrons can never match the speed and processing power offered by photons, tiny packets of light that travel at an ...

Photonic Router: a 2-by-2 device that guides input photons to any one of the output ports with control signals. Imagine the benefits if the entire internet got a game-changing upgrade to speed and ...

Photonic Inc., a Vancouver-based quantum computing firm, announced Monday it has received $23 million in federal funding.
