Milan, Glasgow, and Stanford university partners design chips to optimize light profile “for any environment.” Photonic chips can calculate optimal shape of light for wireless systems. The work is ...

Inside most photonic chips, light races through tiny optical wires. It carries information far faster than electricity can in many conventional systems.

Single-photon emitters quantum mechanically connect quantum bits (or qubits) between nodes in quantum networks. They are typically made by embedding rare-earth elements in optical fibers at extremely ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a new way to manufacture semiconductor quantum dots that emit faster ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Gil Press writes about technology, entrepreneurs and innovation. As Melamed tells it, after Sony Corporation acquired the ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated how quantum dots can be engineered to consistently generate pairs of entangled photons. By carefully tailoring the photonic environment ...

A research team led by Professor Sei Kwang Hahn (Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Graduate School of Convergence Science and Technology, POSTECH) has published an Editorial for an ...

Light, with its countless colors, is one of the wonders of nature. To truly understand what we see, it is essential to know the precise colors of the light with which we perceive our world. We achieve ...

Engineers created a MEMS-tunable twisted bilayer photonic crystal chip that dynamically adjusts twist angle and spacing to ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device that can dynamically control the "handedness" of light as it passes ...
