A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex ...

Physics senior Ruijian Wang has been awarded the Fall 2025 Stephen Halley White Undergraduate Research Award from the Department of Physics for his outstanding research in quantum optics and ...

Quantum optics, the study of the interaction between light and matter at the quantum level, has increasingly focused on the rich dynamics that emerge from atomic ensembles. In these systems, groups of ...

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

A new study explores how EOS transmits ultrashort laser pulses through crystals that change in response to an applied electric field. This technique allows researchers to accurately capture the shape ...

A new quantum communication method uses the temporal Talbot effect to simplify high-dimensional quantum key distribution.

To overcome this noise limitation, the team drew inspiration from a quantum effect known as “energy-time entanglement”.

In a recent gift to the Quantum Scholars program, local optics company Meadowlark Optics is generously supporting $70,000 in scholarships for undergraduates exploring the quantum field at the ...
