Red and blue: a photon of two colours has been made. (Courtesy: iStock/-strizh-) Individual photons have been put into a quantum superposition of two different colours by a team of physicists in the ...

Physicists at C2N have demonstrated for the first time the direct generation of light in a state that is simultaneously a single photon, two photons, and no photon at all. They showed that the same ...

Schrödinger’s cat, famously, is both alive and dead – but what if it could be something else as well? Researchers at the University of Oxford have discovered not one but an entire family of weird ...
