Researchers use light to make spins more efficient, easier to manipulate
“With light we can now optically address spins, which so far one could only learn about using magnetic measurements,” said Sascha Feldmann from the Rowland Institute. Credit: Kris Snibbe/Harvard Staff…
Novel ‘toggle-switch’ could lead to more versatile quantum processors with clearer outputs
This photo shows the central working region of the device. In the lower section, the three large rectangles (light blue) represent the two quantum bits, or qubits, at right and…
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…
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.…
