An international team used light to read the magnetic spin of electrons trapped in a metal-organic framework for the first time. The research could help enable a new generation of quantum sensors.
Ultrafast core-level spectroscopy has revealed elusive precursors of exciton condensation in quantum materials.
An international team led by Hans Briegel at the University of Innsbruck examined physical limits on the energy efficiency of information processing in intelligent systems. Its findings were published in Physical Review X.
A superconducting circuit links smaller photon groups to form larger entangled states. Quantum computers use qubits to store and process information, with entanglement connecting particles in shared quantum states.
Researchers led by Tampere University developed a compact lensless imaging method that produces quantitative data on living cells from a single image. It can monitor cells continuously for hours or days without stains or other labels.
Physicists seek to predict a system’s final outcome from its initial state, but chaos can make that difficult. Small changes to initial conditions may lead to very different results.
Researchers examine how to identify different quantum states in individual molecules when theoretical models are unreliable. They ask which excitation processes produce particular measurement signals.
Researchers report a layered semiconductor that can control light emitted by quantum condensates using magnetism. The work addresses the specialized laboratory conditions required to study Bose-Einstein condensates in ultracold atomic gases.
Liquid-to-fibre formation is important in nature and industry, but predicting the resulting fibres’ properties remains difficult. Their thickness and strength depend on temperature, flow conditions and chemical reactions.
Researchers led by Pengcheng Dai at Rice University found that quantum spins in a ytterbium compound favour a direction without aligning into large-scale magnetism.
Superconductors, materials that can carry electric current with an electrical resistance of zero, have proved to be promising for the development of various technologies, including medical devices, particle accelerators and quantum computers. Studying these materials could help researchers uncover new physical states...
Some of the best engineers and inventors are copycats. They look at how the natural world solves complex problems and use those mechanisms as the basis for innovations. But Mother Nature doesn't always give up her secrets easily.
