Quantum Coherence in Photonic Interactions

Quick fact

Quantum coherence can last for nanoseconds or even longer under controlled conditions, enabling phenomena such as superposition and entanglement in photonic systems.

Why this is interesting

Did you know that the light from a laser is one of the most coherent forms of electromagnetic radiation in nature? This coherence allows for extremely precise interactions with matter at the quantum level.
