The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterization of quantum systems time‑consuming. Furthermore, ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena, Germany, together with international collaborators, have developed two complementary methods that could make quantum ...

Researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Faculty of Arts and ...

Can quantum optics be used for practical applications? A lot depends on whether a large number of photons can be gathered in quantum state. Among all quantum systems, photons are known for their weak ...

With an applied physics: optics degree, you’ll gain specialized expertise in optics, preparing you for diverse career opportunities in technology, research, and academia. Become who you’re meant to be ...

Quantum noise is a fundamental limitation on the sensitivity of atomic sensors. Researchers have now reported the first experimental demonstration of squeezed probe light of electromagnetically ...

In collaboration with Sony, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology developed an electrically driven VCSEL that operates at 1,550 nm. This is the standard wavelength used ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...

Atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics is a foundational discipline within the physical sciences. It is the study of light and matter and their interactions, and deals with electrons, atoms, ...
