Purdue researchers have developed a “topological circulator” that may improve how information is routed and processed on a chip. Graphene has been the focus of intense research in both academic and industrial settings due to its unique electrical conduction properties. As the thinnest material known...

To become more pervasive in daily life, quantum technology needs to better detect single particles of light, called photons, carrying quantum information. The problem is that each photon is a very weak signal, making it difficult for measurement devices to efficiently detect them. Purdue University engineers have proposed a new quantum resource that could help design the next generation of single-photon detectors.

Replacing traditional computer chip components with light-based counterparts will eventually make electronic devices faster due to the wide bandwidth of light. A new protective metamaterial "cladding" prevents light from leaking out of the very curvy pathways it would travel in a computer chip.

Researchers at the University of Alberta, Canada, have proposed a new approach to confining light at subdiffraction wavelengths, using transparent metamaterials—without creating heat or losing data, and with dramatically reduced crosstalk.

Zubin Jacob gives invited talk at Rice University quantum seminar “New directions in quantum sensing: Photonic spin density and atomistic topological electrodynamics”. Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have emerged as promising room temperature quantum sensors for probing condensed matter...

There is a long way to go before quantum information (QI) can have a real-world impact on machine learning applications. However, in the short term, QI presents a principled approach to unravel performance bounds and find hidden quantum-classical parallels for widely used machine learning algorithms...

Congratulations to Mohammad Ali Javidian on the selection of his paper titled “Tensor Rings for Learning Circular Hidden Markov Models” which was virtually presented at the second Workshop on Quantum Tensor Networks in Machine Learning.

A new approach to control forces and interactions between atoms and molecules, such as those employed by geckos to climb vertical surfaces, could bring advances in new materials for developing quantum light sources.

A newly described property related to the "spin" and momentum of light waves suggests potential practical applications in photonic communications and photonic circuits. Scientists already knew that light waves have an electric field that can rotate as they propagate, which is known as the polarization property of light, and that light waves carry momentum in their direction of motion. In new findings, researchers have discovered a "spin-momentum locking," meaning, for example, light waves that spin in a counterclockwise direction can only move forward, and vice versa.

Researchers at Purdue University have created a quantum spin wave for light. This can be a carrier of information for future nanotechnologies but with a unique twist: they only flow in one direction.
