‘Acceleration beats’ shine bright light on a novel universal modulation regime in a semiconductor-based laser
(Left) A lighthouse with the green-color lamp that rotates with angular frequency ω. (Right) It’s spectrum for increasing rotation frequency, showing spectral wiggles close to the two Doppler-shifted peaks—the acceleration…
Scientists crack new method for high-capacity, secure quantum communication
(a) The experimentally retrieved (upper row) and theoretically predicted (lower row) density matrices of two selected quantum states. (b) Theoretically (left panel) and experimentally retrieved (right panel) probability-of-detection matrix. Credit:…
Quantum theory prevails in Leggett-Garg inequality test
A neutron beam (green) is split into two parts, which are then rejoined. Every single neutron travels along both paths at the same time. Credit: Vienna University of Technology Is…
Large variations in composition and toxicity of am
Newswise — Air pollution is one of the most critical environmental challenges in modern society. The World Health Organization has recently lowered the recommended annual concentration of PM2.5 from 10…
