How Light is Revolutionizing Quantum and AI Computing

Imagine solving a problem that would take the fastest supercomputer millions of years in under two minutes. Sounds like science fiction, right? But this is the promise of photonic quantum computing — a groundbreaking technology that uses light, not electrons, to process information. In this video, w

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

In this video from NOVA’s Sun Lab, examine how scientists use electromagnetic radiation to learn about the Sun. The process of nuclear fusion in the core of the Sun produces energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, or light. The wavelength of photons (particles that carry electromagnetic ene
