A new study from the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) explores the behavior of photons, the elementary particles of light, as they encounter boundaries where material properties change rapidly over time. This research uncovers remarkable quantum optical phenomena which may enhance quantum technology and paves the road for an exciting nascent field: four-dimensional quantum optics.

Researchers at the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester have achieved a significant milestone in the field of quantum electronics with their latest study on spin injection to graphene. The paper, published recently in Communications Materials, outlines ground-breaking advancements in spintronics and quantum transport.

MIT physicists report the unexpected discovery of electrons forming crystalline structures in a material only billionths of a meter thick. The work adds to a gold mine of discoveries originating from the material, which the same team discovered about three years ago.

Jainendra Jain, an Evan Pugh University Professor and Erwin W. Mueller Professor in Physics, pioneered the theory of a new state of matter called the fractional quantum Hall effect, whose discoverers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1998.

A low-energy challenger to the quantum computer that also works at room temperature may be the result of research at the University of Gothenburg. The researchers have shown that information can be transmitted using magnetic wave motion in complex networks.

In a recent study, a team of researchers led by Professor Mutsuko Hatano and Professor Takayuki Iwasaki from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, School of Engineering, Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo), Japan, utilized heteroepitaxial growth technology to address size limitations in diamond substrates.

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have invented an entirely new field of microscopy, nuclear spin microscopy. The team can visualize magnetic signals of nuclear magnetic resonance with a microscope. Quantum sensors convert the signals into light, enabling extremely high-resolution optical imaging.

Using the Multi-frequency High Field Electron Spin Resonance Spectrometer at the Steady-State High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a research team from Southern University of Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, Renmin University of China, and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization observed the first-ever Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of a two-magnon bound state in a magnetic material.

An international research team from QuTech and the University of Copenhagen has developed a superconductor-semiconductor hybrid device. It contains a quantum dot in germanium proximized by a superconductor. The integration of on-demand superconductivity into a semiconductor enables the potential development of new hybrid quantum processors. The researchers published their results in Nature Materials.

A collaborative team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD), Nanjing University, Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory (SLAB), and international partners has introduced a new method to regulate exotic electronic states in two-dimensional materials.
