A bold plan to amplify ghostly neutrinos fails two separate quantum tests, according to companion MIT physics papers.

Neutrino laser research ends with MIT physicists proving two independent quantum prohibitions close the door forever: atomic ...

Ultra-intense ultrashort lasers have a wide-ranging scope of applications, encompassing basic physics, national security, industrial service, and health care. In basic physics, such lasers have become ...

MIT researchers find that recoil and neutrinos’ fermionic nature prevent the quantum amplification needed to produce a ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking technique called RAVEN that can capture the full complexity of an ultra-intense laser pulse in a single shot—something previously thought nearly impossible.

Selecting a laser source for an atomic or quantum application begins with the interaction the light is meant to support.

Mode-locked lasers are advanced lasers that produce very short pulses of light, with durations ranging from femtoseconds to picoseconds. These lasers are widely used to study ultrafast and nonlinear ...

Scientists have taken lasers beyond light and into the realm of sound, creating a breakthrough “phonon laser” that manipulates tiny vibrations at the quantum level. By dramatically reducing noise in ...

While the world continues to fixate on AI, there are still plenty of high performance computing workloads that need doing and a speedup to any one part can have a big impact, whether it be ...
