For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated how quantum dots can be engineered to consistently generate pairs of entangled photons. By carefully tailoring the photonic environment ...

Researchers have found a clever way to make quantum dots, tiny light-emitting crystals, produce streams of perfectly controlled photons without relying on expensive, complex electronics. By using a ...

Super quantum dots might be the next big (OK, little) thing in TVs. At least, that’s what companies such as TCL want you to believe. While “regular” quantum dots have greatly improved the performance ...

In one sentence: A quantum dot laser is a semiconductor laser whose gain medium contains nanoscale quantum dots that confine electrons and holes in all three dimensions, producing discrete energy ...

Researchers at Tohoku University, in collaboration with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and the ...

Scientists have pulled off a first: teleporting a photon’s state between two separate quantum dots. This was done over a 270-meter open-air link, proving quantum information can travel between ...

Machine learning automates the control of a large and highly connected array of semiconductor quantum dots. Figure 1: The ten-quantum-dot array used by Zwolak and her colleagues to demonstrate their ...
