When you turn on a lamp to brighten a room, you are experiencing light energy transmitted as photons, which are small, discrete quantum packets of energy. These photons must obey the sometimes strange ...

Researchers from Delft University of Technology have made a breakthrough that could alter the future of quantum technology. They created a chip-based device that can split phonons—the quantized ...

You can’t divide the indivisible, unless you use quantum mechanics. Physicists have now turned to quantum effects to split phonons, the smallest bits of sound, researchers report in the June 9 Science ...

ADELPHI, Md. --Army researchers, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Maryland, built a precursor to a hybrid quantum network that shows promise for the future. The researchers ...

In quantum world, particles like photons can behave like particles (localized points) or waves (spreading out, showing interference patterns). The classic double-slit experiment is a good ...

Researchers have created a chip-based device that can split phonons—tiny packets of mechanical vibration that can carry information in quantum systems. By filling a key gap, this device could help ...
