Physicists at the University of Stuttgart, Germany have teleported a quantum state between photons generated by two different ...

Atomic, molecular and optical physics lies at the intersection of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory, providing the fundamental framework for our understanding of matter and light.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin ...

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...

Clemson researchers are taking common materials to uncommon places by transforming easily obtainable and affordable materials into fiber. Their findings are published in Nature Photonics, the world's ...

Yale physicist A. Douglas Stone has won the 2025 Max Born Award for his groundbreaking work in optics research, which includes more than 150 published research articles and multiple patents for ...

(Nanowerk News) The equations that describe physical systems often assume that measurable features of the system — temperature or chemical potential, for example — can be known exactly. But the real ...

Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive ...
