You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

Our world is getting closer to "Star Trek" every day. Scientists announced Wednesday they've been able to teleport special bits of light from one place to another -- "Beam me up, Scotty," in other ...

Everyday life on the internet is insecure. Hackers can break into bank accounts or steal digital identities. Driven by AI, attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Quantum cryptography ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching and the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen have succeeded in transferring a quantum state of light to a material object – an ...

A successful test in passing information from light into matter – using the teleportation of the quantum state of a photon via optical fiber cable to a receiving crystal located over 25 km (15 mi) ...

Teleportation of optical qubits can enable reliable logic operations in massively parallel quantum computers, as well as the formation of secure quantum networks. Photon teleportation has previously ...

Atoms tend to stay put, but light is always on the move. Physicists would like to exploit those qualities to make information-processing devices in which atoms store information and light shuttles it ...
