A single-photon source you can make at home

Quantum computing and quantum cryptography are expected to give much higher capabilities than their classical counterparts. For example, the computation power in a quantum system may grow at a double exponential rate instead of a classical linear rate due to the different nature of the basic unit, the qubit (quantum bit). Entangled particles enable the […]

Quantum Teleportation Beyond Qubits

Quantum Teleportation Beyond Qubits “Qutrit” Experiments Are a First in Quantum Teleportation Excerpts and salient points ~ +  “Teleportation” also conjures visions of faster-than-light communication, but that picture is wrong, too. If Alice wants to send Bob a message via quantum teleportation, she has to accompany it with classical information transported via photons—at the speed […]
