Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Researchers from the School of Physics at Wits University, working with collaborators from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have demonstrated how quantum light can be engineered in space and ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, researchers have captured quantum uncertainty in real time using ultrafast pulses of light. Nearly a century after Werner Heisenberg proposed the uncertainty ...

It has never been straightforward to probe the secrets of quantum systems. Quantum systems are powerful but extremely hard to measure. The traditional methods require astronomical resources, making ...

A groundbreaking study has challenged centuries of scientific consensus, potentially unravelling our understanding of how light behaves. Research from the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics may ...
