Electro Optics shares the main events and themes on its radar at this year's show in San Francisco
Researchers have been able to compensate for the disturbance entagled photons experience during propagation through a scattering layer and restore entanglement at the output
Researchers may have solved a key challenge of entanglement that could advance the development of quantum-enhanced imaging technologies

Dr Peter Leibinger, CTO of Trumpf, has called for a joined-up strategy on quantum technologies on the first day of Laser World of Photonics in Munich
will display their latest laser systems for scientific and industrial applications at Photonics West, booth #1227. The company is presenting several products at this year’s live event including lasers for quantum applications and biotechnology. Live demos can be found at their booth during the exhibition.
Efficiency ranging from deep UV to near-infrared
Nanoscribe, is debuting the Quantum X align, a new high-performance 3D printer at the Photonics West Conference and Exhibition. The Quantum X align is the first 3D printer with 3D alignment capabilities that enables the printing of freeform microoptical elements directly onto optical fibres and photonic chips, as the company aims to set new standards in the design and fabrication of microoptical elements.
Canadian start-up Xanadu has built a series of small-scale quantum chips, available in 8- and 12-qubit versions, along with a 24-qubit processor, and a 40-qubit chip now at the fabrication stage. Credit: Xanadu

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
