A type of optics experiment called a boson sampler could be among the easiest routes to demonstrating the power of quantum computers. But recent work shows that super-classical boson sampling may be a ...

A new method developed at the University of Bonn simplifies ultra-precise adjustment for quantum optics experiments. When individual atoms interact with each other, they often exhibit unusual behavior ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This is a one-quarter segment of the ...

Since it was first demonstrated in the 1960s, spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) has been at the center of many quantum optics experiments that test the fundamental laws of physics in ...

A property of laser light first predicted in 1963 by the future Nobel laureate Roy Glauber has been verified by physicists in Italy. Marco Bellini and colleagues from the University of Florence have ...

Who’s who: The quantum Alice in Wonderland would like to understand whether the many “Twindeldum-Twindeldees” she sees are really identical or not, and uses the new interferometer for this purpose.
