Slow atomic movements shed new light on unconventional superconductivity
An SLAC research team discovered how an exceedingly slow process known as atomic relaxation changes in the presence of two of the quantum states that intertwine in cuprate superconductors. The…
How SLAC Researchers Are Pushing AI to the Edge
This is the first of a two-part series exploring a sampling of ways artificial intelligence helps researchers from around the world perform cutting-edge science with the lab’s state-of-the-art facilities and…
A path towards applying topology in quantum computing
Simulation results for the “shortcut to adiabaticity” protocol. The Wigner function evolution for the Kerr nonlinear oscillator state during the protocol is shown for the two different initial states, one…
Infrared detectors made from quantum dots—a keener eye for the invisible
On the dot: Quantum dot-based IR detectors applied to an optic fiber. Credit: Empa What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain…
New spin quantum battery can be charged without an external field
The left panel shows a sketch of the charging process: the delta parameter varies over time from δ_0 to δ_0+δ_1 and then returns to δ_0, altering the strength of interactions…
Promising strategy leverages atomic displacements to control quantum properties of a vanadate perovskite
Left parts of a,b: Sketch showing the epitaxy of YVO3 on different facets of a YAlO3 substrate. The latter are shown as orange cubes, with purple faces indicating the orthorhombic…
