A new device for manipulating and moving tiny objects with light

Wits physicists demonstrate a new device for manipulating and moving tiny objects with light. When you shine a beam of light on your hand, you don’t feel much, except for a little bit of heat generated by the beam. When you shine that same light into a world that is measured on the nano- or

Technique paves the way for high-bit-rate secure long distance quantum communication

Researchers demonstrate quantum teleportation of patterns of light Nature Communications today published research by a team comprising Scottish and South African researchers, demonstrating entanglement swapping and teleportation of orbital angular momentum “patterns” of light. This is a crucial step towards realising a quantum repeater for high-dimensional entangled states. Quantum communication over long distances is integral to

Towards secure communications: Physicists show that real-time error correction in quantum communications is possible

New research done at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, has exciting implications for fast and secure data transfer in the future and will aid technological advances that seek to establish more secure quantum communication links over long distances. Nature Physics published online Monday evening, 23 January 2017, the research by a

Light packing more data has potential to increase bandwidth by 100 times

African researchers demonstrate a 100x increase in the amount of information that can be ‘packed into light’. The rise of big data and advances in information technology has serious implications for our ability to deliver sufficient bandwidth to meet the growing demand. Researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, and the
