The discovery of quantum mechanics opened the door to fundamentally new ways of communicating, processing, and protecting data. With a quantum revolution well underway, long unimaginable opportunities ...

For years, scientists have imagined a future where secure quantum links circle the planet from space. Satellites would create pairs of entangled photons and send them down to distant stations on Earth ...

Researchers have designed a new device that can efficiently create multiple frequency-entangled photons, a feat that cannot be achieved with today's optical devices. The new approach could open a path ...

For decades, entanglement has been the hallmark of quantum weirdness, a ghostly connection between particles that Einstein famously called “spooky action at a distance.” It is at the heart of quantum ...

Researchers developed a chip-scale platform that efficiently generates entangled photons, advancing scalable quantum tech for computing, cryptography, and sensing. (Nanowerk News) Entangled photons ...

Jim Baggott is a science writer based in Cape Town, South Africa. He is co-author with John Heilbron of Quantum Drama. Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory, on which ...

Physicists have provided strong support for quantum entanglement, the seemingly far-out idea that two particles, no matter how distant from each other in space and time, can be inextricably linked, in ...
