Light Waves Like Never Before: Scientists Unveil Groundbreaking Optical Quantum Detection

Researchers at Paderborn University have used a new method to determine the characteristics of optical, i.e. light-based, quantum states. For the first time, they are using certain photon detectors - devices that can detect individual light particles - for so-called homodyne detection. The abilit
