Physicists develop a novel quantum theory of light-induced matter
Schematic illustration of time-resolved spectroscopy for the light-induced phase of molecules proposed based on the new quantum theory. Emission signal is collected in detector after the laser pulses that excite…
Researchers develop a new source of quantum light
Microscopic imaging shows the size uniformity of the perovskite nanocrystals. Credit: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Using novel materials that have been widely studied as potential new solar photovoltaics, researchers at…
New device opens door to storing quantum information as sound waves
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Quantum computing, just like traditional computing, needs a way to store the information it uses and processes. On the computer you’re using right now, information, whether…
Scientists Increase Electron-Phonon Interaction in Thin Strontium Ruthenate
Newswise — Electrons inside crystals interact closely with phonons, defined as the discrete unit of crystal vibrations. The electron–phonon coupling strength is an important fundamental physical quantity in solid state…
Study Reveals a New Finding Helping to Solve the “Spin Crisis”
Newswise — STONY BROOK, N.Y., June 21, 2023 — New research findings published in Physical Review Letters provides theorists with new input for calculating how much gluons—the gluelike particles that…
Directly imaging quantum states in two-dimensional materials
Left, ultrafast light pulses excite and probe a tiny sample of WS2 one layer of atoms thick, emitting electrons that are collected by a new detector called a momentum microscope.…
