This research uncovers remarkable quantum optical phenomena that may enhance quantum technology and paves the road for an exciting nascent field: four-dimensional quantum optics. Four-dimensional ...

It's all done with mirrors. Touching the spring seems easy, but the image of a spring is made by a big curved concave mirror. Light from a real spring bounces off the mirror to form the image you see.

Joint research demonstrating the ability to readout superconducting qubits with an optical transducer was published in Nature Physics. Quantum computing has the potential to drive transformative ...

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t quick and dirty adaptive optics that are suitable for the budget-minded experimenter, like this thermally deformable mirror. As [Zachary Tong] explains ...
