A carefully timed pair of light pulses can amplify the motion of atomic layers in a quantum material
The principle "Work smarter, not harder!" apparently also applies to controlling quantum materials with light. Many of their fascinating properties depend on how the atoms are arranged in the crystal. Ultrashort laser pulses ...

Single molecules could provide the building blocks for future quantum networks
Quantum computers rely on qubits as their units of information. To connect them into a larger network across long distances, they need to transmit quantum information using light.
Ultrathin kagome material opens a route to study unusual quantum states
How atoms are arranged inside materials can influence the behavior of electrons and the resulting electronic states. Kagome lattices, repeating arrangements of atoms forming triangles that share corners (with hexagonal spaces ...
Ultracold atoms simulate hard-to-observe matter-antimatter pair production
According to quantum electrodynamics, the theory describing interactions between light and electrically charged particles, a sufficiently strong electric field can, in principle, convert some of its energy into particles ...
Four superconducting cables link two large quantum processors into one
As quantum computers grow more ambitious, many researchers believe the best way forward is to build them in multiple interconnected parts. In these modular designs, separate quantum processors are linked so they can work ...
How a 'tropical' shortcut could help particle collider experiments
Particle accelerators are expensive. Not just to build or to run, but also to predict the outcome of measurements obtained from them.
