Entangled photons have the remarkable ability to be more sensitive to signal and less sensitive to noise than classical light. Joint photons can sample an object collectively, resulting in faster phase accumulation and higher spatial…

Quantum nonlocality is arguably among the most counter-intuitive phenomena predicted by quantum theory. In recent years, the development of an abstract theory of nonlocality has brought a much deeper understanding of the subject. In…
Entanglement is a fundamental resource for quantum information science. However, bipartite entanglement is destroyed when one particle is observed via projective (sharp) measurements, as it is typically the case in most experiments. Here we…

Entangled photons play a pivotal role in the distribution of quantum information in quantum networks. However, the frequency bands for optimal transmission and storage of photons are not necessarily the same. Here we experimentally…
J.H. Shapiro recently argued that nonlocal dispersion cancellation using entangled pairs of photons is essentially classical in nature, based on a comparison with a classical model in which two stationary, chaotic beams of light have phases…
The role of the timing and order of quantum measurements is not just a fundamental question of quantum mechanics, but also a puzzling one. Any part of a quantum system that has finished evolving, can be measured immediately or saved for…
