Optics and lasers are among the dual-use technologies that generate significant added value. The most widely publicized example is undoubtedly the Martian adventure of Thales lasers: the millionth ...

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to understand the mysteries of neutron stars, gamma ray bursts and more ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

Quantum computers will need large numbers of qubits to tackle challenging problems in physics, chemistry, and beyond. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in two states at once—a phenomenon called ...

What does the passage of time look like for a truly quantum object? The world’s best clocks may soon be able to answer this question, testing how time can stretch and shift in the quantum realm and ...

Researchers from CEA-Leti, Université Grenoble Alpes, CEA-List, the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux INP, IMS France, Université Paris-Saclay ...

On October 8 and 9, 2025, the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) will present its latest research findings at the Photonics Days conference and will be represented with a booth at the accompanying ...

Another major quantum computing record has been broken, and by a considerable margin: physicists have now built an array containing 6,100 qubits, the largest of its type and way above the thousand or ...

A study led by Politecnico di Milano, recently published in Nature Photonics, highlights the crucial role of virtual charges in insulating materials. One of the biggest challenges in modern physics an ...

A team at the University of St Andrews has unlocked a major step toward true holographic displays by combining OLEDs with holographic metasurfaces. Unlike traditional laser-based holograms, this ...

UC Riverside has developed a technology that enables scientists to peer deeper into the universe. Gravitational-wave science is on the verge of a major step forward, thanks to a new instrumentation ...

Caltech physicists report they have created the largest qubit array assembled to-date: 6,100 neutral-atom qubits trapped in a grid by lasers. Previous - Read more from Inside HPC & AI News.
