Researchers Improve Quantum Memory Capacity Using Multiplexing
Researchers have built a quantum memory-enabled source of spatially structured nonclassical light, based on the principle of wavevector multiplexing. The high-capacity memory using laser-cooled atoms can store up to 665 quantum states of light simultaneously. According to researchers, their system has a larger capacity than any other existing quantum memory.

Lensless Camera Creates Detailed 3D Images Without Scanning
Lensless Camera Creates Detailed 3D Images Without Scanning
A new camera, called DiffuserCam, produces 3D images from a single 2D image without using any lenses. The camera consists only of a diffuser placed a few millimeters in front of an image sensor. The proposed architecture and algorithm for the camera could enable high-resolution, light-efficient lensless 3D imaging of large and dynamic 3D samples in an extremely compact package.

Laser Scanner Could Help Diagnose Disease Before Vision Loss Occurs
A retinal imaging scanner has been developed that can produce high-resolution, 3D cross-sectional images of the retina, including individual photoreceptors and fine capillaries. The scanner is extremely compact (about the size of a shoebox), making it suitable for everyday use in medical clinics and hospitals.

Researchers Improve ToF Resolution 1000-Fold Using Computational Approach
In a novel approach to time-of-flight (ToF) imaging, researchers correlated the principle of heterodyning to ToF, increasing depth resolution 1000-fold. Higher ToF resolution could enable accurate distance measurements through fog, removing a major obstacle to the development of self-driving cars.

53-Qubit Quantum Simulator Observes Quantum Magnetism in Action
53-Qubit Quantum Simulator Observes Quantum Magnetism in Action
Two independent teams of scientists have used more than 50 interacting atomic quantum bits (qubits) to mimic magnetic quantum matter, setting what they believe to be a new record for quantum simulation. In recent years, scientists have controlled 10 to 20 atomic qubits in small-scale quantum simulations.

PBM 101: Photobiomodulation Basics
PBM 101: Photobiomodulation Basics
Tue, Jan 9, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
This webinar will provide a brief history of the use of light and color to diagnose and treat disease; review the science behind photobiomodulation (PBM); and present examples of "real world" applications where this emerging technology is being successfully used. Presenter Robert S. Dotson, M.D., FAAO (board-certified, Ophthalmology) has been actively involved in researching and developing PBM technology for applications within ophthalmology for over 15 years. He is the founder of two companies focused on developing PBM applications, Photospectra and LumiThera.
