Twisted Light Gives Electrons a Spinning Kick
November 26, 2024
In a new paper, scientists seeking better methods for controlling the quantum interactions between light and matter demonstrated a novel way to use light to give electrons a spinning kick. They reported the results of their experiment, which shows that a light beam can reliably transfer orbital angular momentum to itinerant electrons in graphene, on Nov. 26, 2024, in the journal Nature Photonics.
New Design Packs Two Qubits into One Superconducting Junction
October 21, 2024
Quantum computers are the basis of a growing industry. However, their technology isn’t standardized yet, and researchers are still studying the physics behind the ways to build these quantum devices. Even the most basic building blocks of a quantum computer—qubits—are still an active research topic. In an article published September 23, 2024 in the journal Physical Review A, JQI researchers proposed a way to use the physics of superconducting junctions to let each function as more than one qubit.
