Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena, Germany, together with international collaborators, have developed two complementary methods that could make quantum ...

The controlled generation of single photons is an essential element of numerous quantum technology applications, such as ...

Can quantum optics be used for practical applications? A lot depends on whether a large number of photons can be gathered in quantum state. Among all quantum systems, photons are known for their weak ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...

In collaboration with Sony, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology developed an electrically driven VCSEL that operates at 1,550 nm. This is the standard wavelength used ...
