Lasers are at the cutting edge of surgery. From cosmetic to brain surgery, intense beams of coherent light are gradually replacing the steel scalpel for many procedures.    view more (2007-10-26)

NIST atom interferometry displays new quantum tricks
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a novel way of making atoms interfere with each other, recreating a famous experiment originally done with light while also making the atoms do things that light just won't do.   view more (2007-05-29)

New ion trap may lead to large quantum computers
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have designed and built a novel electromagnetic trap for ions that could be easily mass produced to potentially make quantum computers large enough for practical use.   view more (2006-07-07)

Artificial atoms make microwave photons countable
Using artificial atoms on a chip, Yale physicists have taken the next step toward quantum computing by demonstrating that the particle nature of microwave photons can now be detected, according to a report spotlighted in the February 1 issue of the journal Nature.   view more (2007-02-02)

MR-Guided Laser Effective in Treating Liver Tumors
A large-scale, 12-year study has found that laser ablation with magnetic resonance (MR) guidance is as effective as traditional surgery in the treatment of liver tumors in some patients.   view more (2005-11-30)

New sensor detects gaseous chemical weapon surrogates in 45 seconds
Using lasers and tuning forks, researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a chemical weapon agent sensing technique that promises to meet or exceed current and emerging defense and homeland security chemical detection requirements.   view more (2007-03-21)

Loopy photons clarify 'spookiness' of quantum physics
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Joint Quantum Institute (NIST/University of Maryland) have developed a new method for creating pairs of entangled photons, particles of light whose properties are interlinked in a very unusual way dictated by the rules... view more (2008-03-19)

Quantum Information Processing - Deciding the direction of research
Future developments in quantum information processing will radically change the way we store and process information. Its basic aim is to understand how the fundamental laws of quantum physics can be harnessed for the manipulation, storage and communication of information, opening up new... view more (2002-08-16)

Discovery of 'hidden' quantum order improves prospects for quantum super computers
An international team of scientists, including several at The Johns Hopkins University, has detected a hidden magnetic "quantum order" that extends over chains of nearly 100 atoms in a material that is otherwise magnetically disordered.   view more (2007-07-27)

Breakthrough in computer chip design eliminates wires in data transmission
Research slated to appear in the October 2 edition of the Optical Society of America's (OSA) Optics Express will unveil that researchers have created a new laser-silicon hybrid computer chip that can produce laser beams that will make it possible to use laser light rather than wires to send data... view more (2006-09-21)
