For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated how quantum dots can be engineered to consistently generate pairs of entangled photons. By carefully tailoring the photonic environment ...

My academic path studying physics at Tsinghua University began in 1981 where I completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s before earning a PhD in 1992. I then did a postdoc at the Central Iron & Steel ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to understand how the valence electrons within materials respond to light at ...

A research team in China has built a quantum dot device that produces photon pairs with record-setting purity, achieving a two-photon fraction of 0.983(1). The work, published in Nature Materials, ...

Ultrashort mid-infrared (mid-IR) laser pulses are essential for applications such as molecular spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy, and biomedical imaging, but their generation often relies on complex ...

Marco Donghia’s photograph of the Cryogenic Laboratory for Detectors at INFN National Laboratories of Frascati won first place in the judges’ competition (courtesy: Marco Donghia) From an image of a ...

However, in indoor environments, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signals significantly degrade the ranging performance of UWB ...
