UrduQuantum technologies promise breakthroughs in communication, computing, sensors and much more. However, quantum states are fragile, and their effects are difficult to grasp, making research into real-world applications challenging. Empa researchers and their partners have now achieved a breakthrough: Using a kind of “quantum Lego”, they have been able to accurately realize a well-known theoretical quantum physics model in a synthetic material.

New discoveries about the nature of light could improve methods for heating fusion plasma
Scientists have made discoveries about light particles known as photons that could aid the quest for fusion energy.
Glitches in the matrix
Physicists at Washington University are finding new ways to harness the quantum power of defects in otherwise flawless crystals.
Data Reveal a Surprising Preference in Particle Spin Alignment
Given the choice of three different “spin” orientations, certain particles emerging from collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an atom smasher at Brookhaven National Laboratory, appear to have a preference. Recent results reveal a preference in global spin alignment of particles called phi mesons.
