A new study from the University of Portsmouth has outlined a possible way to improve how we distinguish between two closely spaced light sources, an issue that has long challenged classical imaging ...
The new approach uses a purely optical technique called stimulated two-photon excitation to generate streams of photons in different polarization states directly from a quantum dot without requiring ...
Quantum dots - semiconductor nanostructures that can emit single photons on demand - are considered among the most promising sources for photonic quantum computing. However, every quantum dot is ...
A team of researchers of the University of Stuttgart and the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg led by Prof. Stefanie Barz (University of Stuttgart) has demonstrated a source of single photons ...
Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...
A team of researchers of the University of Stuttgart and Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg led by Stuttgart’s Prof. Stefanie Barz has demonstrated a source of single photons that combines ...
