"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Researchers find a way to purify photons, clearing major hurdles for faster quantum computers and ultra-secure networks.

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner by RIKEN researchers. Such carbon nanotubes could form the basis of future ...

The first image of a black hole may conceal treasure — but physicists disagree about whether it’s been found. A team of scientists say they’ve unearthed a photon ring, a thin halo of light around the ...

This achievement removes one of the biggest roadblocks in quantum materials science and brings practical quantum devices much closer to reality.

A team of scientists claim they’ve uncovered a thin ring of light called a photon ring around the first black hole to have its picture taken, the supermassive black hole in the galaxy M87. But ...
