Testing `spooky’ causation

Last year saw the completion of a decade long quest to perform a successful Bell experiment without the three major and a few minor experimental loopholes. With local causality laid to rest, we can now start to unravel which of the many assumptions made by John Bell are incompatible with quantum mechanics. In a new experiment […]

Environmentally enhanced coherent transport

We have a new paper on environmentally enhanced transport out in Nature Communications, “Enhancing coherent transport in a photonic network using controllable decoherence“. Here’s what Ivan and Andrew have to say about it: Quantum researchers find noise isn’t always bad A team of researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems and […]
