Such alignment is critical for chip-scale devices that employ the radiation emitted by quantum dots to store and transmit quantum information. For the first time, the NIST researchers achieved this ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford and collaborators have used femtosecond laser pulses to activate individual single-photon emitters inside high-purity diamond, a step that could make ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

Researchers were shocked to discover that what was thought to be a quantum state is actually an entirely new phase of matter.

Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of individual photons and, ideally, pairs of entangled photons. Semiconductor ...

Accurate alignment of quantum dots with photonic components is critical for extracting the radiation emitted by the dots. In this illustration, a quantum dot centered in the optical “hotspot” of a ...
