Strong driving to realize super-Bloch oscillations

An international team successfully realizes periodic oscillations and transportation for optical pulses using a synthetic temporal lattice. They observe the features of SBO collapse, including vanishing oscillation amplitude and flip of initial oscillation direction.

5,000 times faster than a computer

Scientists have created a new way to generate electricity using light, which operates at speeds 5,000 times faster than current computers. The 'interatomic light rectifier' uses the interaction between atoms to produce directed electric currents.

Magnon spin currents can be controlled via spin valve structure

A team of physicists controlled magnon spin currents using a spin valve structure, allowing for the implementation of a switch-like device that suppresses or forwards magnon current as an electrical signal. The discovery enables wave-based computing and improved energy efficiency in data processing.

Nature: Electronic read-out of quantum bits

Scientists have developed a molecular spin-transistor that can read out the quantum state of an atom, paving the way for more stable and controlled quantum computing. The device, which uses electrodes to detect changes in the atomic spin, can maintain stability for up to 20 seconds.
