Quantum technologies are cutting-edge systems that can process, transfer, or store information leveraging quantum mechanical ...

Milan, Glasgow, and Stanford university partners design chips to optimize light profile “for any environment.” Photonic chips can calculate optimal shape of light for wireless systems. The work is ...

Single-photon emitters quantum mechanically connect quantum bits (or qubits) between nodes in quantum networks. They are typically made by embedding rare-earth elements in optical fibers at extremely ...

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 ...

CEA-Leti today presented new research at SPIE Photonics West highlighting major progress in the integration of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with silicon photonic platforms for mid-infrared (MIR) ...

SPIE Photonics West sees the global optics and photonics community come together to present and discuss the latest industry ...

Controlled generation of single-photon emitters in silicon (red) by broad-beam implantation of ions (blue) through a lithographically defined mask (left) and by a scanned focused ion beam (right).

Engineers are turning what used to be a bulky optics bench into something that fits on the tip of a finger, and the latest photonic chips go a step further by splitting a single laser into a ...

Machine learning models called convolutional neural networks (CNNs) power technologies like image recognition and language translation. A quantum counterpart—known as a quantum convolutional neural ...

Quantum engineers have now demonstrated a fully controllable three‑qubit register on a silicon photonic chip, turning a ...

The LED industry has entered its traditional off-season, with tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainty in 2025 prompting end ...
