A new way of generating linearly polarized photons using quantum dots has been developed by an international team of researchers. The photons are emitted from a quantum dot at the top of a ...

A new light-based method lets tiny quantum dots release perfectly controlled photons, opening doors to faster and cheaper ...

Materials scientists say that the quantum behavior of atomic vibrations excited in a crystal using light pulses has much to do with the polarization of the pulses.

The generation, modulation, and detection of polarized light play a pivotal role across diverse fields, including optical communication, laser processing, dynamic displays, and biomedical imaging ...

Scientists have generated circularly polarized light and controlled its direction without using clunky magnets or very low temperatures. The findings show promise for the development of materials ...

Now, researchers have succeeded in demonstrating for the very first time how laser light can induce quantum behavior at room temperature -- and make non-magnetic materials magnetic.

One emerging method of encoding data in quantum computers is through what’s known as valley-polarized light.

The quantum behavior of atomic vibrations excited in a crystal using light pulses has much to do with the polarization of the pulses, say materials scientists. The findings from their latest study ...
