A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...
Researchers at the University of Iowa have identified a new way to "purify" photons, a development that could improve both the performance and ...
Photon purity is more than a technical detail. In photonic quantum computing, orderly single-photon streams are easier to ...
Light is usually treated as something simple, a clean beam that either shines or does not. At the quantum level, however, ...
Laser linewidth measures how precisely a beam of light maintains its frequency and color purity. The narrower the linewidth, the more monochromatic and spectrally pure the laser. The team's ...
A NASA laser just fired successfully in a deep-space test. On Nov. 14, NASA picked up a laser signal fired from an instrument that launched with the Psyche spacecraft, which is currently more than 10 ...
