The device generates pairs of entangled photons at a record rate—45 billion per second—consuming just milliwatts of power. The purity of the quantum connection exceeds 96%. Its tiny size and efficiency bring quantum internet, secure satellite links, and ultra-precise sensors closer to reality.

Quantum batteries quickly lose energy due to interactions with the environment. Researchers suggest braiding giant atoms together — the leak channels then cancel each other out, allowing useful energy transfer without losses. This is a step toward durable quantum storage devices.

The Universe arranged a race of light beams. Fast radio bursts from distant galaxies made it possible to test: if the photon had mass, blue light would arrive later than red. In reality, the delay is explained only by gas. New mass limit: 5×10⁻⁵¹ kg – light is practically weightless.

A superconducting qubit and a fast modulator turned frequencies into floors for a single photon, letting it wander randomly, oscillate, or move only forward. This is a step toward compact quantum simulators.

Astronomers used pulsars — ultra-precise cosmic lighthouses — to search for elusive dark matter. If it were made of ultralight wave-particles, they would distort the flawless rhythm of these stars. Years of observations showed no disturbances, but for the first time set bounds for two hypothetical f

Analysis of 3455 fast radio bursts from the CHIME telescope has mapped electron density fluctuations in the cosmic web. The statistically significant signal at >3σ confirms that residual dispersion measures are not random, but reflect real baryon clumping. The method, which does not require precise
