Engineering physicist Christine Tremblay talks to Joe McEntee about the joys of a career spent making fibre-optic networks cheaper, smarter and more resilient, opening the way for telecommunications ...

New device emits photons in telecom fiber band from the start, so it avoids a separate converter that can waste photons.

Optical fibre communication systems have revolutionised global telecommunications by harnessing light‐based signal transmission through highly engineered glass or plastic fibres. The principle of ...

With the rise of quantum computers, the security of our existing communication systems is at risk. Quantum computers will be able to break many of the encryption methods used in current communication ...

Bright idea: this vacuum chamber is home to an optical conveyor belt. (Courtesy: P Windpassinger/Experimental Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Research Group) A ...

Raman distributed optical fiber sensing has been demonstrated to be a mature and versatile scheme that presents great flexibility and effectivity for the distributed temperature measurement of a wide ...

Atomic, molecular and optical physics lies at the intersection of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory, providing the fundamental framework for our understanding of matter and light.

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...
