Single-photon transmitter could enable new quantum devices
Long-sought goal for quantum devices — the ability to transmit single photons while blocking multiple photons — is finally achieved.
Four innovative technologies garner 2012 R&D 100 Awards for MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Awards recognize a diverse range of technologies
The quantum singularity
A new experiment would use quantum effects to perform otherwise intractable calculations, but conducting it should be easier than building a quantum computer.
Hidden in plain sight
A new approach to invisibility cloaking gets much closer to the science-fiction version, using simple and inexpensive materials.
