Tiny 3D-printed “light cages” are giving researchers a new way to catch and hold individual particles of light on a chip, a ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

A new study takes the GHZ paradox, which describes how quantum theory can't be described by local realistic descriptions, to ...

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest scales. Photons, the fundamental particles of the electromagnetic field that ...

Photons, the elementary particles that make up light, are known to be fast, weightless and to not interact with each other. But in new experiments, physicists at MIT and Harvard have now created a new ...

“Molecules” made from three photons have been created by physicists in the US. The photon triplets were made by firing laser light into an atomic gas and the researchers believe that their technique ...

Engineers at Stanford have created a new optical device that can easily manipulate light into basically any color desired. The system uses a series of modulators to fine-tune the frequencies of ...
