Prof. Michał Parniak and Michał Lipka from the University of Warsaw (UW) is Faculty of Physics developed a quantum-inspired super-resolving spectrometer for short pulses of light. In the future the device can be miniaturized on a photonic chip and applied in optical and quantum networks as well as in spectroscopic studies of matter. The invention was presented by the researchers in “Optica”.

A new study led by Rice University’s Qimiao Si has unveiled a new class of quantum critical metal, shedding light on the intricate interactions of electrons within quantum materials. Published in Physical Review Letters on Sept. 6, the research explores the effects of Kondo coupling and chiral spin liquids within specific lattice structures.

Now MIT physicists have directly observed edge states in a cloud of ultracold atoms. For the first time, the team has captured images of atoms flowing along a boundary without resistance, even as obstacles are placed in their path. The results, which appear today in Nature Physics, could help physicists manipulate electrons to flow without friction in materials that could enable super-efficient, lossless transmission of energy and data.

ICFO leads the first experimental demonstration of a deep subwavelength topological edge state within a nanophotonic system, a turnover in the field of topological Nanophotonics.

Atomic clocks have been used for decades – but now, even greater precision has become possible: TU Wien (Vienna) and JILA/NIST are presenting the world's first nuclear clock.

Scientists at EPFL, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin have uncovered intriguing insights into the magnetic properties of a complex material that dances on the edge of quantum spin liquid behavior. The discovery could have far-reaching implications for our understanding of quantum materials and their potential technological applications.

Archer Materials Limited, a semiconductor company focused on quantum technology, has made recent strides in the development of its 12CQ quantum chip. According to their latest announcement, Archer has successfully produced two proof-of-concept devices designed to enhance the spin detection capabilities of the chip, relevant to integrating quantum computing with mobile devices.

A collaborative research team led by Prof. Junwei Liu, Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), and Prof Jinfeng Jia and Prof Yaoyi Li from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), has identified the world’s first multiple Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in a single vortex of the superconducting topological crystalline insulator SnTe and exploited crystal symmetry to control the coupling between the MZMs.

Cornell University researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially improve the sensitivity of quantum sensors and be used in other quantum devices.

This study shows that the superconducting edge currents in the topological material molybdenum telluride (MoTe2) can sustain big changes in the “glue” that keeps the superconducting electrons paired. This is important because electrons pairing up is what makes electricity flow freely in a superconductor.
