Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

Artificial intelligence has begun to tackle a task once thought to be uniquely human: designing scientific experiments. And not just any experiments. Researchers at University College London have used ...

Data transmission by laser: The researchers tested data transmission by laser over 53 kilometres from the Jungfraujoch to the Zimmerwald Observatory near Bern. Courtesy: ETH Zürich Researchers in ...

Quantum optics is a well-established field that spans from fundamental physics to quantum information science. In the coming decade, areas including computation, communication and metrology are all ...

A property of laser light first predicted in 1963 by the future Nobel laureate Roy Glauber has been verified by physicists in Italy. Marco Bellini and colleagues from the University of Florence have ...

Quantum mechanics, famously, is full of effects that defy our basic intuition. A fine example is the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect, which occurs when two light quanta (or, photons) arrive simultaneously at a ...

Physicists have demonstrated one of the quintessential effects of quantum optics -- known as the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect -- with microwaves, whose frequency is 100,000 times lower than that of visible ...
