Quantum computing has long promised to crack problems that defeat even the fastest supercomputers, but the hardware has struggled to scale beyond fragile laboratory prototypes. A new generation of ...

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

CU Boulder researchers have designed microscopic “racetracks” that trap and amplify light with exceptional efficiency. By using smooth curves inspired by highway engineering, they reduced energy loss ...

By harnessing two natural timescales in resonator arrays, researchers created photonic chips that reliably produce multiple harmonics without active compensation. For decades, scientists and engineers ...

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

Forward-looking: By demonstrating a chip that can produce multiple frequencies without adjustment, a Maryland research team has brought photonic integration closer to parity with the semiconductor ...

Xanadu, the Canadian photonic quantum computing firm, has teamed up with semiconductor equipment manufacturer Disco to develop next-generation wafer processing techniques for ultra-low-loss photonic ...

Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To address this, a team led by the University of Bath—working with the University ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...

The venture capital arm of semiconductor giant Nvidia was among the investors in a $1 billion funding round for quantum computing firm PsiQuantum. The Palo Alto, California-based firm secured Series E ...

Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab develops chip-scale components that can bring the power and precision of quantum science outside of the tightly controlled environment of the lab. (Santa Barbara, ...
