“The patterns of light hold tremendous promise for a large encoding alphabet in optical communications, but progress is hindered by their susceptibility to distortion, such as in atmospheric turbulence or in bent optical fibre. Now researchers at the University of …
“A new and fast tool for quantum computing and communication. Isaac Nape, an emerging South African talent in the study of quantum optics, is part of a crack team of Wits physicists who led an international study that revealed the …
“The discovery of triplet spin superconductivity in diamonds has the potential to revolutionise the high-tech industry. Diamonds have a firm foothold in our lexicon. Their many properties often serve as superlatives for quality, clarity and hardiness. Aside from the popularity …
“Wits Researchers demonstrate a new quantum approach for sharing a secret amongst many parties, setting a new record for the highest dimensions and parties. Researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, have demonstrated a record setting …
“Quantum mechanics is embracing patterns of light to create an alphabet that can be leveraged to build a light-based quantum network. Structured light is a fancy way to describe patterns or pictures of light, but deservedly so as it promises …
“Wits physicists demonstrate a new device for manipulating and moving tiny objects with light. When you shine a beam of light on your hand, you don’t feel much, except for a little bit of heat generated by the beam …
“Wits PhD student finds a way to control the spin transport in networks of the smallest conductor known to man. Researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand have found ways to control the spin transport in networks of the smallest …
