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

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

A single-photon detector (SPD) is sensitive to incidence of individual quanta of light and has many applications in photonics, such as fluorescence measurements, laser ranging, optical time-domain ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

The low-altitude economy, as an emerging economic form, has experienced rapid growth in recent years. Given the significant increase in the number of drones and the frequency of flight activities, the ...

There are few technologies more fundamental to modern life than the ability to control light with precision. From fiber-optic communications to quantum sensors, the manipulation of photons underpins ...

Researchers have developed a compact and lightweight single-photon airborne lidar system that can acquire high-resolution 3D images with a low-power laser. This advance could make single-photon lidar ...
