photons

A research team at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) has shown that it is possible to manipulate photons into colliding, causing them to interact in new ways as they cross paths.  The…

Quantum entanglement, when two quantum particles connected to each other even over great distance, shows that one particle affects the other as if they were communicating. When entanglement involves photons, entangling the photons’…

Estimates are that the quantum computing market will reach $65 billion by 2030. A research team led by Xu Yi, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science…

According to photonics researchers, the amount of time taken up by an optical signal limits the amount of data that can be carried. Temporally shorter signals allow more data to be squeezed into a given time duration, in a method called…

Professor Konstantin Arutyunov of the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics and a team of Chinese researchers developed a graphene-based mechanical resonator. With this resonator, the coherent emission of sound energy…

Estimates are that by 2025, we’ll create 175 zettabytes (175trillion gigabytes) of new data. What about the security of sensitive data at a high volume? And how will we address problems from privacy and security to climate change and…
