Quantum Photons Survive a 24-Kilometer Journey Through Chicago’s Busy Internet

A single photon carrying quantum information had to travel more than 24 kilometers through an optical fiber already crowded ...

New photonic platform offers a four-lane highway for light

Topological photonics can force propagating light to travel in a single direction—allowing researchers to route optical signals around corners and past defects without any of it scattering backward.
