Beating the Dark Side of Quantum Computing
November 16, 2012 A future quantum computer will be able to carry out calculations billions of times faster than even today's most powerful machines by exploit the fact that the tiniest particles, molecules, atoms and ... > full story -
Physicists Skirt Thermal Vibration, Transfer Optical Signal Via Mechanical Oscillator
November 15, 2012 Using tiny radiation pressure forces, physicists converted an optical field, or signal, from one color to another, aided by a "dark mode." The conversion occurs through the coupling between light and ... > full story -
Powering Lasers Through Heat
November 13, 2012 In micro electronics heat often causes problems and engineers have to put a lot of technical effort into cooling, for example micro chips, to dissipate heat that is generated during operation. ... > full story -
First Noiseless Single Photon Amplifier
November 12, 2012 Research physicists have demonstrated the first device capable of amplifying the information in a single particle of light without adding noise. The next step will be to build additional quantum ... > full story -
Next-Generation Echo Sounder Ready
November 8, 2012 Echo sounders are used to find fish in the ocean, observe their behavior, and estimate their quantity and size as well as the abundance and distribution of the plankton upon which fish feed. Research ... > full story -
Quantum Kisses Change the Color of Nothing: New Ways to Measure the World at the Scale of Single Atoms and Molecules
November 7, 2012 Even empty gaps have a color. Now scientists have shown that quantum jumps of electrons can change the color of gaps between nano-sized balls of gold. The new results set a fundamental quantum limit ... > full story -
World Record for Entanglement of Twisted Light Quanta
November 2, 2012 Physicists have achieved a new milestone in the history of quantum physics: Scientists were able to generate and measure the entanglement of the largest quantum numbers to ... > full story -
A New Order in the Quantum World: Using Laser Beams Scientists Generated Quantum Matter With Novel, Crystal-Like Properties
November 2, 2012 By using laser beams, scientists have generated quantum matter with novel, crystal-like ... > full story -
Particle and Wave-Like Behavior of Light Measured Simultaneously
November 1, 2012 What is light made of: waves or particles? This basic question has fascinated physicists since the early days of science. Quantum mechanics predicts that photons, particles of light, are both ... > full story -
Looking Beyond Space and Time to Cope With Quantum Theory
October 28, 2012 Physicists have proposed an experiment that could force us to make a choice between extremes to describe the behaviour of the ... > full story
