Measuring Nothing
Daniel Oi, John Jeffers and Václav Potoček have shown how to measure nothing. Specifically, they showed how to find out whether there are any photons in a quantum field without disturbing its coherence in the case the vacuum is not … Continue reading →
Quantum physics fights against crime
Physicists at the University of Strathclyde and Heriot-Watt University have developed a new way of verifying electronic transactions using light. Their approach uses photons to create digital signatures, the security of which are based on the laws of quantum physics. The team … Continue reading →
