Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner by RIKEN researchers. Such carbon nanotubes could form the basis of future ...

Quantum Photonics Group of BAQIS, led by Chief Scientist Dr Zhiliang Yuan and in collaboration with the Institute of Semiconductors CAS, has recently published a research article entitled “A ...

The continuous development of bright, stable and highly coherent high-energy light sources is a propellant to the fields of material science, biomedical imaging, ultrafast spectroscopy, and industrial ...

Pushing the limits of structured light, applied physicists report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create ...

Researchers in Germany have unveiled the Metafiber, a breakthrough device that allows ultra-precise, rapid, and compact control of light focus directly within an optical fiber. Unlike traditional ...
