Why does nature love spirals? The link to entropy
Credit: Ahmed Farag Ali and Aneta Wojnar There are moments in the history of human thought when a simple realization transforms our understanding of reality. A moment when chaos reveals…
Boosting the response speed of quantum LEDs via an excitation memory effect
Image of an emitting micro-QLED (approximately 60 microns in diameter) that demonstrates fast response capabilities. Credit: Lu et al. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used electroluminescent devices that emit light…
Nuclear Physicists Create Scalable Quantum Circuits to Simulate Fundamental Physics
The Science Simulating matter in extreme conditions is critical to answering fundamental questions about nature. The Standard Model of particle physics provides a set of equations that can explain these mysteries. However,…
Metasurfaces entangle light and information in new study
Polarization and holographic information become entangled in a quantum hologram. Holographic letters demonstrate entanglement through polarization of paired photons. By selecting different polarizer orientations for one photon, specific letters in…
Topological insulator nanowires reveal superconducting effect, bringing topological quantum computing closer to reality
