You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

Quantum teleportation has finally stepped out of pristine laboratory loops and into the messy reality of live internet cables ...

From left: Cohen, Gopinath, Krueper in the lab. Their paper, “Realistic model of entanglement-enhanced sensing in optical fibers,” was published in Optics Express earlier this year. Research into ...

Optical fibers have become the foundation of modern data transmission, used for everything from telecoms and internet services to governmental and space applications. This is because they’re capable ...

Engineering physics major Katie Wootten was named a Stephen Halley White Undergraduate Research Award recipient this semester, in recognition of her outstanding research project. The award is the ...

Raman distributed optical fiber sensing has been demonstrated to be a mature and versatile scheme that presents great flexibility and effectivity for the distributed temperature measurement of a wide ...

Scientists have transmitted quantum and conventional internet data through the same fiber-optic channel, meaning a future quantum internet could theoretically use existing infrastructure. When you ...

Free-space optical communications (FSOC), which use lasers for high-speed data links between aircraft, spacecraft, and ground stations, are limited by size and power constraints. To overcome this, ...
