The path to a quantum network: Erbium dopants stimulated to emit single photons
Researchers at MPQ in Garching, together with a team from TU Munich, have excited erbium atoms embedded in crystalline silicon such that they emit single photons. Their special properties can form the basis for the development of extended networks th.....»»
Direct photons point to positive gluon polarization
A new publication by the PHENIX Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provides definitive evidence that gluon "spins" are aligned in the same direction as the spin of the proton they're in. The result, just published in Physical.....»»
Exploring the properties of very thin hafnium dioxide
The chemistry of hafnium dioxide (known as hafina) is rather boring. Yet, the behavior of ultrathin layers that are based on this material is very interesting: they can be used as non-volatile computer memory through the switching of dipoles with an.....»»
IBM compensates for errors, gets usable results out of quantum processor
May be a way to squeeze useful work out before we get quantum error correction. Enlarge / IBM's Eagle processor has reached Rev3, which means lower noise qubits. (credit: IBM) Today's quantum processors are error-prone......»»

Scientists create fluorogenic probe to detect enzyme linked to early stage of Alzheimer"s
Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder, results in memory loss and compromises cognitive abilities in many people beyond the age of 60. Currently used techniques to detect manifestations of the disease (MRI, PET, and CT scans) are complex,.....»»
Single-atom vacancies in atomically thin insulators created in ultra-high vacuum
Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Missing nitrogen atoms have been suggested to be the atomi.....»»
Physicists design metamaterials with built-in frustration for mechanical memory
Researchers from the UvA Institute of Physics and ENS de Lyon have discovered how to design materials that necessarily have a point or line where the material doesn't deform under stress, and that even remember how they have been poked or squeezed in.....»»
