In Greek mythology, cutting one head off the Hydra of Lerna simply resulted in two more heads growing to replace it – and it turns out it’s even worse for photons. If you try to cut a piece off a ...

Pairs of correlated or entangled photons are a foundational resource in quantum optics. They are most commonly produced through spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), a nonlinear optical ...

Scientists have pulled off a first: teleporting a photon’s state between two separate quantum dots. This was done over a 270-meter open-air link, proving quantum information can travel between ...

Photon, a startup modernizing prescription infrastructure, has raised $16 million in series A funding to scale its business. The round was led by Healthier Capital, with participation from Notation, ...

Figure | Operation principle of the monolithic microcavity-metalens interfaces. (a) Schematics of the monolithic microcavity-metalens interface. A QD-micropillar single-photon device emits bright and ...

Citizen marks 50 years of Eco-Drive with Photon limited editions Housed in Super Titanium with multi-layered dials inspired by physics experiments, showcasing shifting hues Powered by the Caliber E036 ...

Photon-counting CT represents part of a broader R&D strategy at GE HealthCare, which has invested $3 billion in the enterprise since 2022, after splitting off from the GE mother ship and becoming an ...

Researchers have found a way to extract almost every photon from diamond color centers, a key obstacle in quantum technology. Using hybrid nanoantennas, they precisely guided light from nanodiamonds ...

The article was selected as a Featured Article in APL Quantum ("Approaching unity photon collection from NV centers via ultra-precise positioning of nanodiamonds in hybrid nanoantennas"). Diamonds ...

You can now order an “Iron Dome” for mosquitoes. Its name is the Photon Matrix, a black box about the size of a smartphone that can detect, track, and eliminate mosquitoes mid-flight using an ...
