You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

Physicists at the NIST have measured and controlled a superconducting quantum bit (qubit) using light-conducting fiber instead of metal wires. Superconducting circuits are a leading technology for ...

Quantum teleportation has finally stepped out of pristine laboratory loops and into the messy reality of live internet cables ...

SAN DIEGO—A Silicon Valley startup plans to send an experiment in fiber-optics manufacturing to the International Space Station (ISS) next year in a bid to make to the first commercial products that ...

-Successful experiment to receive downlink light at NICT optical ground station from DLR optical terminal mounted on Univ. of Stuttgart's Flying Laptop satellite -Succeeded in the initial experiment ...

Last week, I introduced the Humboldt dark fiber DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing) experiment. This experiment which sends laser pulses along an unused (dark) strand of optic cable, is unusual in many ...

An optical fiber about the thickness of a human hair can now carry the equivalent of more than 10 million fast home internet connections running at full capacity. An optical fibre about the thickness ...

The secret to building superconducting quantum computers with massive processing power may be an ordinary telecommunications technology - optical fiber. Physicists have measured and controlled a ...
