New study reveals spin in quantum dots' carrier multiplication

A new approach to developing semiconductor materials at tiny scales could help boost applications that rely on converting light to energy. A Los Alamos-led research team incorporated magnetic dopants into specially engineered ...

Physicists uses light to build complex structures

Ph.D. candidate Petr Steindl creates complex structures of light using single photons. As a teenager, he wanted to study Czech poetry but decided on quantum physics. "Looking back, I am glad I switched fields," he says. On ...

New scheme for qubit control in a multilevel system

A team led by Prof. Guo Guangcan from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made significant progress in the research of multilevel quantum system tunability.

Forging a dream material with semiconductor quantum dots

Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and collaborators have succeeded in creating a "superlattice" of semiconductor quantum dots that can behave like a metal, potentially imparting exciting new properties ...
