The paper was published by CREOL and Florida Photonics Center of … Read more
Illustration of two slides comprising two entangled quantum light sources. Credit: Peter Luddell In a new breakthrough, researchers at the University of Copenhagen, in collaboration with Ruhr University Bochum, have solved a problem that has been causing quantum researchers headaches for years. Researchers can now control two quantum light sources instead of just one. As … Read more
A team of researchers at Boston College discovered that the photocurrent flows (shown in blue) along the axis of a single crystal of a Weyl semi-metal and flows out (shown in yellow/orange) along the vertical axis, represented here as the result of a new technique the team developed using quantum magnetic field sensors. To visualize … Read more
A thin section of a meteorite under a microscope. Different colors represent different minerals, because light travels through them in different ways. The round mineral aggregates are chondrocytes, and are a major component of primitive meteorites. Credit: Nicole Zeke Ni. Earth’s potassium reached by Meteorite Delivery Service finds new research led by Nicole Ni and … Read more
Electrons in silicon experience coupling between their spin (up and down arrows) and valley states (blue and red orbitals). In the presence of a DC voltage (blue glow) the electron can undergo coherent spin-valley oscillation. Image credit: Mike Osadcio. In recent years, many physicists and computer scientists have been working on quantum computing technologies. These … Read more

Image of galaxy GHZ2/GLASS-z12 with associated ALMA spectrum. ALMA’s deep spectroscopic observations revealed a spectral emission line associated with ionized oxygen near the galaxy, which has been shifted in its observed frequency by the expansion of the universe since the line’s emission.
