You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

Physicists at the NIST have measured and controlled a superconducting quantum bit (qubit) using light-conducting fiber instead of metal wires. Superconducting circuits are a leading technology for ...

Every message we send online, whether a bank transfer or a meme, relies on light. Tiny pulses travel through fiber-optic cables, bouncing between nodes that amplify the signal every few dozen ...

SAN DIEGO—A Silicon Valley startup plans to send an experiment in fiber-optics manufacturing to the International Space Station (ISS) next year in a bid to make to the first commercial products that ...

-Successful experiment to receive downlink light at NICT optical ground station from DLR optical terminal mounted on Univ. of Stuttgart's Flying Laptop satellite -Succeeded in the initial experiment ...

Quantum networking has long sounded like science fiction, but a series of recent lab results is turning it into a practical engineering problem. Researchers are now pushing fragile quantum states ...

An optical fiber about the thickness of a human hair can now carry the equivalent of more than 10 million fast home internet connections running at full capacity. An optical fibre about the thickness ...

The usefulness of most quantum computers is still significantly limited by the low number of qubits that hardware can support. But simple fiber optic cables – just like the ones used for broadband ...

The secret to building superconducting quantum computers with massive processing power may be an ordinary telecommunications technology - optical fiber. Physicists have measured and controlled a ...
