Think about the last time you were at a lake, river, or the ocean. Remember the ripples of the water, the waves crashing against the rocks, the wake following a boat, the sun reflecting off the crests ...

Researchers have shaped the time profile of a single photon. The work may benefit quantum information processing in fields such as quantum cryptography. Light shaping. Shown here are the measured ...

In a recent study, Manish Garg, independent group leader at Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (MPI FKF), succeeded in probing the local properties of bright and dark excitons in the ...

A new imaging technique can show the wave-like behavior of unconfined quantum particles. Quantum spreading. The expansion of a single-atom wave packet when released from a trap into free space, as ...
