Quantum lidar prototype acquires real-time 3D images while fully submerged underwater
Researchers developed a lidar system that uses quantum detection technology that can capture 3D images while submerged underwater. They demonstrated the system by using it to capture a 3D image…
Quantum entanglement of photons doubles microscope resolution
The quantum microscopy by coincidence (QMC) apparatus. Credit: Caltech Using a “spooky” phenomenon of quantum physics, Caltech researchers have discovered a way to double the resolution of light microscopes. In…
Differing device personalities come together for future quantum computing networks
Credit: NIST We’re building the tools to trap ions and watch them glow (or not). The art-deco-esque device shown above is a combined trap for ions (charged atoms) and detector…
Newly observed effect makes atoms transparent to certain frequencies of light
Artist’s visualization of a laser striking atoms in an optical cavity. Credit: Ella Maru Studio A newly discovered phenomenon dubbed “collectively induced transparency” (CIT) causes groups of atoms to abruptly…
Counting photons for quantum computing
Experimental setup. A pulsed source is evenly split into three segments, and each is coupled to a transition-edge sensor detector channel. Credit: DOE’s Jefferson Lab and University of Virginia Experts…
