- Birth, life and death of a photon
- Two days ago, I told you that German physicists had built a single-photon server. But French researchers also have used ultra cold atoms of rubidium to record the full life of a photon. This was one of Einsteins dreams, but it was thought as an impossible one before. In fact,...

- A single-photon server
- A team of German physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics has built a single-photon server with just one atom. Theyve trapped ultra cold atoms of rubidium in a vacuum chamber and applied laser pulses from one side. The generated photons were of high quality, meaning their energy...

- Detecting single photons
- What do you do when you need to transmit a signal over a long distance, from Saturn, say, and you're low on power? Until now, you turned the bandwidth way down, but new single-photon detectors could change that. Technology Review has an interview with Karl Berggren, an electrical engineering...
