In quantum computers, information is often carried by single photons and picked up by structures named superconducting nanostrip single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). In principle, traditional type-I ...

A research group led by Dr. Toru Ube at Chuo University enabled 3D-selective deformation of “photomobile polymer materials” with the aid of two-photon absorption processes. Spatial selectivity of ...

The increasing demand for advanced optoelectronic devices necessitates the development of materials that can efficiently absorb and manipulate light at the nanoscale. This research explores the unique ...

A research team led by Pasquale Scarlino at EPFL has built a small, tunable detector capable of sensing individual microwave photons and converting them into measurable electrical current. The device ...

This image depicts the structure of the proposed organic molecule, alongside the energy level diagrams of two-photon absorption (left side) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (right side).

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...
