Quantum bottleneck breaks wide open as one light beam carries 23 secure channels at the same time

by quasarn01 | Apr 16, 2026 | Latest in Physics

A new Bar-Ilan University study points to a major advance in quantum information processing, demonstrating a way to send, manipulate, and measure quantum information across many frequency channels simultaneously, rather than one at a time. The study was recently...

New laser method gives insight into radioactive atomic nuclei

by quasarn01 | Apr 16, 2026 | Latest in Physics

By directing pulses of laser light at atoms, researchers can study how radioactive elements decay in a matter of seconds. The method is described in a new thesis from the University of Gothenburg, which shows that the atomic nuclei of the elements neptunium and...
