Quantum teleportation has finally leapt from pristine lab setups into the messy reality of the public internet. Instead of moving atoms like in science fiction, researchers have transmitted the ...

Scientists at Peking University in China have cracked how to build long-distance quantum communication ...

SAN DIEGO—A Silicon Valley startup plans to send an experiment in fiber-optics manufacturing to the International Space Station (ISS) next year in a bid to make to the first commercial products that ...

The thought experiment began with a number. Single-mode fiber optics can now transmit data at 256 terabits per second over 200 kilometers. Based on that capacity, ...

UR and RIT are receiving $2M from National Institute of Standards and Technology to expand the Rochester Quantum Network.

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern University have shown that quantum teleportation can work inside fiber-optic ...

Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

With the rapid advancement of the information age, the demand for data transmission and processing has surged dramatically. As an efficient carrier for optical communication and data transmission, ...

Last week, I introduced the Humboldt dark fiber DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing) experiment. This experiment which sends laser pulses along an unused (dark) strand of optic cable, is unusual in many ...
