- Observing gain-induced group delay between multiphoton pulses generated in a spontaneous down-conversion source
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) and spontaneous four-wave mixing are powerful nonlinear optical processes that can produce multi-photon beams of light with unique quantum properties. These processes could be leveraged to create various quantum technologies, including computer processors and sensors that leverage quantum mechanical effects.
- Experiment verifies a connection between quantum theory and information theory
Researchers from Linköping University together with colleagues from Poland and Chile have confirmed a theory that proposes a connection between the complementarity principle and entropic uncertainty. Their study is published in the journal Science Advances.

- Researchers use citizen scientist data to explore blue auroras in Japan
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 06, 2024 On May 11, 2024, a dramatic geomagnetic storm created colorful auroras across Japan's Honshu and Hokkaido islands. Among these was a unique salmon-pink aurora lasting through the night and an exceptionally rare, blue-dominant aurora observed just before midnight. Unlike the typical red auroras seen at low latitudes, these unusual displays captivated citizen scientists and researchers alike.
