In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed vacuum (BSV), can drive strong-field photoemission at metal needle tips.

A new study explores the behavior of photons, the elementary particles of light, as they encounter boundaries where material properties change rapidly over time. This research uncovers remarkable ...

Researchers from Wits University and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona show how controlling the structure of photons in space and time enables tailored quantum states for next-generation communication ...

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 ...

Lasers and quantum electronics represent a transformative amalgam of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic technology that underpins much of modern scientific and industrial innovation. Central to ...

Imagine traveling through a city where the streets themselves change shape depending on how fast you drive down them. For tiny particles traveling close to the speed of light, such a thing may indeed ...
