Quantum entanglement has long been framed as a strange communication channel between particles, but the latest experiments suggest it can do something more concrete and practical: make light itself ...

Driving late at night, you come upon a red light and stop the car. You lift your hand wearily to block the red glow streaming through your windshield. Suddenly, both the green and yellow lights come ...

Cluster creation: artistic impression of a state containing multiple entangled photons. (Courtesy: iStock/agsandrew) Pairs of entangled photons are a key ingredient of photonic quantum computers, ...

Tailoring light is much like tailoring cloth, cutting and snipping to turn a bland fabric into one with some desired pattern. In the case of light, the tailoring is usually done in the spatial degrees ...

Researchers have revealed the necessary conditions for the robust transport of entangled states of two-photon light in photonic topological insulators, paving the way the towards noise-resistant ...

Researchers propose an unconventional way to generate light made from entangled photons. In the graphic above, photons meet the electrons of a helium atom, which then emits two entangled photons.
