Calculations intended to feel out the interactions between light and the material that produces it may inadvertently describe the photon's outline, revealing its shape in unprecedented detail. A new ...

A new article explores the string theoretical effects outside the black hole photon sphere. A paper by the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) Director Ooguri ...

A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon. A new theory, that explains ...

Physicists have now teleported the quantum state of a single photon between distant quantum dots, turning a long theorized building block of the quantum internet into a working device. By reliably ...

Shattered glass does not leap back into your hand. Smoke from a match does not gather itself and crawl back inside. In everyday life, time feels like a one-way street, and you only get one chance to ...
