Team Demonstrates Three-Photon Bound States
Scientists have observed traveling three-photon bound states in a quantum nonlinear medium, a phenomenon that could help further the use of photons in quantum computing. The researchers further found that the bound photons acquired a fraction of an electron’s mass. The newly weighed-down photons traveled about 100,000 times slower than normal, noninteracting photons.

Silicon Quantum Chip Brings Quantum Computation Closer
Experiments have shown that a single electron spin and a single microwave photon can be coupled on a silicon chip. This coupling could make it possible to transfer quantum information between a spin and a photon, allowing quantum bits (qubits) to be connected across a chip. The process could potentially be scaled up to connect large numbers of qubits.

Quantum Dots Catalyze Polymer Creation
Using semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) as a catalyst for light-mediated radical polymerization, materials scientists are exploring a stable and economical method for making polymers. Such a method could be used in place of molecular catalysts or expensive transition metals.

Spectroscopy Explores Photoinduced Reactions in Anticancer Drug
Using IR spectroscopy, researchers have gained fresh insight into how a platinum-based chemotherapy drug candidate functions when activated by light. Completely inactive and nontoxic in the dark, the treatment can be targeted to cancerous areas and is triggered only when directed light hits it.
