Just How Secure Is Quantum Cryptography?
May 28, 2013 Unlike classical encryption, quantum communication systems are known to offer the promise of virtually unbreakable encryption. Now, new research on this topic is shaking up the long-held notion that ... > full story -
Einstein's 'Spooky Action' Common in Large Quantum Systems
May 28, 2013 Mathematician have shown that entanglement -- what Einstein termed "spooky action at a distance" -- is actually prevalent in large quantum systems and have identified the threshold at which it ... > full story -
Hydrogen Atoms Under the Magnifying Glass: Nodal Structures of Electronic States of Hydrogen Atom Directly Observed
May 27, 2013 Researchers have succeeded in building a microscope that allows magnifying the wave function of excited electronic states of the hydrogen atom by a factor of more than 20,000, leading to a situation ... > full story -
Helicopter Light-Beams: New Tool for Quantum Optics
May 27, 2013 A light wave oscillates perpendicular to its propagation direction -- that is what students learn in school. However, scientists in Austria have now performed atomic physics experiments with light ... > full story -
A Quantum Simulator for Magnetic Materials
May 23, 2013 Physicists have developed a quantum simulator that allows arranging atoms in a way that they mimic the behavior of electrons in magnetic materials. The experiment opens up the possibility of ... > full story -
