NIST scientists correlate photon pairs of different colors generated in separate buildings. Particles can sometimes act like waves, and photons (particles of light) are no exception. Just as... Read more
For the first time, a team led by Innsbruck physicist Ben Lanyon has sent a light particle entangled with matter over 50 km of optical fiber. This paves the way for the practical use of quan... Read more
Scientists have managed to send a record-breaking amount of data in quantum form, using a strange unit of quantum information called a qutrit. The news: Quantum tech promises to allow data t... Read more
A research team led by Osaka University demonstrated how information encoded in the circular polarization of a laser beam can be translated into the spin state of an electron in a quantum do... Read more
Robust encoder switches polarization 1 billion times a second; could facilitate global quantum encryption network Researchers have developed a simple and stable device to generate the quantu... Read more
U of T Engineering researchers have demonstrated proof-of-principle for a device that could serve as the backbone of a future quantum Internet. Professor Hoi-Kwong Lo (ECE, Physics) and his... Read more
Researchers with the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated a new level of control over photons encoded with quantum information. Their research was published... Read more
A quantum internet may very well be the first quantum information technology to become reality. Researchers at QuTech in Delft, The Netherlands, today published a comprehensive guide towards... Read more
MPQ scientists achieve long storage times for photonic quantum bits which break the lower bound for direct teleportation in a global quantum network. Concerning the development of quantum me... Read more
Connecting up the quantum internet Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) have taken a major leap forward to provide practical building blocks for a global quantum internet.... Read more
Physicists from the University of Basel have developed a memory that can store photons. These quantum particles travel at the speed of light and are thus suitable for high-speed data transfe... Read more
Quantum physic can guarantee that a message has not be intercepted before reaching its destination. Thanks to the laws of quantum physic, a particle of light – a photon – can be in two disti... Read more
A Polish-British team of physicists has constructed and tested a compact, efficient converter capable of modifying the quantum properties of individual photons. The new device should facilit... Read more
