The Relightables System Captures Character Lighting for Virtually Any Environment
Computer scientists at Google have developed a system for high-quality, relightable performance capture. The volumetric capture system, called The Relightables, can capture full-body reflectance of 3D human performances and seamlessly blend them into a new environment through augmented reality (AR) or into digital scenes in films and games. Character lighting can be customized in real time.

Photonic Accelerator Could Increase Computation Speed and Efficiency
A new photonic integrated circuit device, developed by researchers in Japan, can be placed at the front end of a digital computer and optimized to perform specific functions with less power consumption than is needed for fully electronic devices. This photonic accelerator, called PAXEL, is a special class of processor that can process images or time-serial data either in an analog or digital fashion on a real-time basis.

Microscopy Innovation Allows for Simultaneous Quantitative and Bright-Field Imaging
Researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have designed a microscope lens that is able to take both quantitative phase images and bright-field images in a single measurement. Under the supervision of professor Wolfgang Heidrich, the researchers developed a microscope lens that incorporates a wavefront sensor, a custom-designed optical sensor able to encode the wavefront, or phase, information into intensity images.

Photonic Cluster States Generated at Room Temps for Optical Quantum Computation
To observe quantum phenomena on a macroscopic scale, researchers at the Center for Macroscopic Quantum States (bigQ) and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) created an extremely entangled quantum state, called a cluster state. The team’s scalable scheme for the generation of photonic cluster states could be suitable for universal measurement-based quantum computation.

Collaborative Work Advances Quantum Sensors for Bio Applications
A research team at Università degli Studi Roma Tre has shown that quantum light can be used to track enzyme reactions in real time. The researchers developed a setup that allowed them to control the light at the level of a single photon. This made it possible to use low illumination without disrupting the enzymes, with the potential to achieve improved sensitivity.
