Researchers have experimentally realized an optical effect predicted over 75 years ago: the Tellegen effect, where electric ...

The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterization of quantum systems time‑consuming. Furthermore, ...

In recent years, van der Waals crystals have evolved from scientific curiosities into a versatile platform for exploring novel quantum phases and unconventional nanophotonic phenomena. Their layered ...

A new generation of specialty optical fibers has been developed by physicists to cope with the challenges of data transfer expected to arise in the future age of quantum computing. A new generation of ...

An international team of researchers has shown that superconductivity can be modified by coupling a superconductor to a dark electromagnetic cavity. The research opens the door to the control of a ...

By replacing single atoms with an entangled pair of ions, physicists in Germany have demonstrated unprecedented stability in ...

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, ...

A new Stanford-designed optical amplifier uses energy recycling in a resonator to deliver strong, low-noise amplification with far less power.

Imaging science Ph.D. student Muhammad Akif Qadeer awarded Optica Foundation scholarship for his work in developing ultrafast ...

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 ...
