A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

Light does a lot of work in the modern world, enabling all types of information technology, from TVs to satellites to ...

Atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics explores the quantum behaviour of electrons, atoms and light, and their mutual interactions across energy, length and time scales. In atoms and molecules, ...

The research demonstrates a practical method for overcoming a long standing bottleneck in quantum computing, bringing closer ...

In the dynamic realm of optical physics, researchers are continually pushing the boundaries of how light can be manipulated and harnessed for practical applications. As reported in Advanced Photonics ...

SPIE Photonics West sees the global optics and photonics community come together to present and discuss the latest industry trends and research breakthroughs ...

A research team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University has unveiled Optics GPT, described as the world's first large language model ...

Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

In June, more than 1,200 physicists will present new research at the 56th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics being held in Portland, ...

Researchers show that precisely layering nano-thin materials creates excitons -- essentially, artificial atoms -- that can act as quantum information bits, or qubits. By taking two flakes of special ...

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 ...
