photon-teleportationBefore Star Trek fans go berserk, we have to state it’s not the same teleportation as in the sci-fi series. Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much further than the few hundred meters… »

photonic-entangled-statesA team of physicists and engineers at Bristol University has demonstrated exquisite control of single photons on a silicon chip to make a major advance towards quantum technologies, including super-powerful quantum computers and ultra-precise measurements. Jeremy O’Brien, Director of the Centre for Quantum Photonics at the Bristol University, who led the research, has demonstrated precise… »
