Physicists trap electrons in a 3D crystal for the first time
MIT physicists have trapped electrons in a pure crystal, marking the first achievement of an electronic flat band in a three-dimensional material. The rare electronic state is thanks to a…
The controllable splitting of a single Cooper pair in a hybrid quantum dot system
An abstract diagram of two types of Cooper pair splitters. The conventional Cooper pair splitter (including the faded parts of the diagram) consists of a superconducting contact separated from two…
Afroditi Papadopoulou seeks to unlock the mysteries of matter
Newswise — Common but elusive, the tiny particles known as neutrinos have sparked many questions among scientists since they were first discovered nearly 70 years ago. Afroditi Papadopoulou has joined…
Exploring spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
A spin microemulsion phase found in simulations of Rashba spin-orbit coupled, Bose-Einstein condensates. Colored regions correspond to dense regions of atoms with the same spin state. Credit: Ethan McGarrigle (doi:…
Study observes strong noise correlations between silicon qubits
Characterization of qubit error correlation in a silicon qubit array. Credit: Yoneda et al To build highly performing quantum computers, researchers should be able to reliably derive information about the…
Optical fiber–based, single-photon light source at room temperature for next-generation quantum processing
Schematic diagram and microscopic observation of an optical fiber doped with rare-earth atoms. The fluorescence from the entire optical fiber can be seen. (b) Schematic diagram and microscopic observation of…
