Physicists and chemists at Heidelberg University have realized a photonic microchip that is driven by light just as easily as electronic components via a "plug." Their development could serve as the ...

A new Stanford-designed optical amplifier uses energy recycling in a resonator to deliver strong, low-noise amplification with far less power.

As digital data streams increase in speed and data rate, losses in PCB traces become ever more of a bottleneck.

The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it possible to carry out quantum computations on pairs of photons ...
