Scientists build a new light source for quantum communications by combining existing technologies together to create a stronger and more robust quantum signal. Scientists have created an ...

Quantum computing can handle multiple possibilities simultaneously, creating increased processing power to solve more complex problems. It threatens to crack cryptographic algorithms that secure ...

A quarter of a century after it was first posed, a fundamental question about the nature of quantum entanglement finally has an answer – and that answer is “no”. In a groundbreaking study, Julio I de ...

Scientists have just theorized how to connect quantum processors over vast distances to form a giant quantum computing network that acts as a single machine. Physicists have created a new model ...

Growing data traffic has also exposed the vulnerabilities of traditional encryption methods, particularly as emerging quantum computing technologies threaten to undermine current security standards.

Quantum computers are often referred to as a future technology that will give scientists and engineers a new tool with which to explore the deeper mysteries of the universe. But, based on a new ...

The quantum dot absorbs it if the dot has a difference in energy levels that matches the photon energy. In that case, the dot then emits a photon of that energy that is reflected back out the top.
