Researchers from Lancaster University and Radboud University Nijmegen have managed to generate propagating spin waves at the nanoscale and discovered a novel pathway to modulate and amplify them.

In a recent study published in Nature Physics, researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with researchers of University of Science and Technology of China, have introduced the concept of the "Topological Kerr Effect" by using the low-temperature magnetic field microscopy system and the magnetic force microscopy imaging system supported by the steady-state high magnetic field experimental facility.

A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) is now introducing a new approach for transducing quantum information. The team has manipulated quantum bits, so-called qubits, by harnessing the magnetic field of magnons—wave-like excitations in a magnetic material—that occur within microscopic magnetic disks. The researchers have presented their results in the journal Science Advances.

An international research team involving TU Wien and the Czech Academy of Sciences has now achieved an important breakthrough: they have managed to switch the spins in an antiferromagnetic material using surface strain. This could lead to important new line of research in electronic technologies.

Researchers have begun to use magnets to entangle qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers; the simple technique could unlock complex capabilities.
