Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner by RIKEN researchers. Such carbon nanotubes could form the basis of future ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Researchers are learning to flip light on and off one particle at a time, turning single photons into a controllable resource instead of a random byproduct of exotic materials. By engineering ...
