Any time you use a device to communicate information—an email, a text message, any data transfer—the information in that ...

The 2022 Nobel Prize in physics recognized three scientists who made groundbreaking contributions in understanding one of the most mysterious of all natural phenomena: quantum entanglement. In the ...

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon that’s as bizarre as it is fragile. Entangled particles are thought to lose this inexplicable link when exposed to outside factors. But now, physicists have ...

Researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, in collaboration with Huzhou University, discovered that the entanglement workhorse of most quantum optics laboratories can have ...

Receive emails about upcoming NOVA programs and related content, as well as featured reporting about current events through a science lens. The new microscope uses a 405 nm laser—the same wavelength ...

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the Max Planck Institute have developed a way to produce a web of quantum entangled photons using a far more simple setup than usual. The key is a ...

Regardless of the answers, the era of entanglement under infinite book‐keeping is giving way to an era of entanglement under limited books, limited clocks and limited gates. And in this more realistic ...

Chaotic speckle: a pattern resulting from light being scrambled by a complex medium such as a multimode optical fibre. (Courtesy: M Malik and S Goel) Light passing through a disordered (or “complex”) ...

Long-distance quantum communication is one of the prime goals in the field of quantum information science. With information encoded in the quantum state of photons, existing telecommunication fibre ...
