Creating vortices in a superfluid made of light

By using a special combination of laser beams as a very fast stirrer, RIKEN physicists have created multiple vortices in a quantum photonic system and tracked their evolution. This system could be used to explore exotic new ...

Sensing and controlling microscopic spin density in materials

Electronic devices typically use the charge of electrons, but spin—their other degree of freedom—is starting to be exploited. Spin defects make crystalline materials highly useful for quantum-based devices such as ultrasensitive ...
