The secret to building superconducting quantum computers with massive processing power may be an ordinary telecommunications technology - optical fiber. Physicists have measured and controlled a ...

Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To address this, a team led by the University of Bath—working with the University ...

Imagine heading out for a run on a cold winter day clad in athletic gear with sensors and microelectronics woven into the very fiber to constantly monitor your vital signs, even running the occasional ...

Fiber-optic services are becoming more popular, and networks are expanding to cover more areas for faster data transfer speeds. Fiber-optic data transfer differs from traditional methods like ...

TAT-8 was the eighth Trans-Atlantic Telephone system and the first to replace copper transmission with single-mode optical fiber between the United States, the United Kingdom, and ...

Teknovus, a Petaluma startup that makes computer chips and software for fiber optic communications, has accepted a $123 million takeover offer from Broadcom Corp., the two companies said Wednesday.

Bridging the gap between the cryogenically-cooled inner workings of quantum computers and the conventional electronics that control them is an outstanding challenge. Current approaches look unlikely ...

The authorities seized the Fitburg, a cargo ship that was en route from Russia to Israel when it sliced the cable in the Gulf of Finland. By Neil Vigdor and Johanna Lemola Damage to fiber optic lines ...

Researchers from MIT have built an advanced fiber-based computer that can be embedded into textile fabrics, enabling it to ...

Fiber-based networks make up the majority of the internet's backbone. Fiber-optic subsea cables spanning thousands of miles connect continents together, exchanging data at nearly the speed of light.

Physicists at the NIST have measured and controlled a superconducting quantum bit (qubit) using light-conducting fiber instead of metal wires. Superconducting circuits are a leading technology for ...
