For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum entanglement.

Physicists have recreated the Nobel Prize–winning quantum Hall effect using light, revealing that photons can follow the same ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device that can dynamically control the "handedness" of light as it passes ...

The new method, which uses quantum dots, performs as well as or better than current infrared light sources while being much simpler to make. The scientists hope the breakthrough could lead to cheaper ...

In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In ...

An international team of physicists has cooked up with a new theory that could allow for objects to travel faster than the speed of light — and while they say it wouldn’t technically violate the laws ...
