SINGLE-PHOTON DETECTORS: Discrete amplification dramatically improves single-photon detection

www.laserfocusworld.com | Dec 2, 2008

A new type of photodetector overcomes the limitations of avalanche photodiode technology by offering amplitude and event detection, wide dynamic range, and flat spectral response, while eliminating the external quenching circuit.

Quantum weirdness wins again: Entanglement clocks in at 10,000+ times faster than light

www.sciam.com | Aug 13, 2008

No matter how many times researchers try, there's just no getting around the weirdness of quantum mechanics. In the latest attempt, researchers at the University of Geneva in Switzerland tried to determine whether entanglement—the fact that measu
