Researchers report that terahertz, invisible light has been used to probe the hidden quantum states of particles inside vortices in superconductors. The technique offers a new way to observe how quasiparticles behave within these magnetic whirlpools, which normally interfere with a superconductor's zero-resistance properties. Physicists say the findings could deepen understanding of superconductivity and support future work on quantum materials and devices.
- 7Single Layer Of Material Produces Flat Band For High-temp Quantum Effects▼A Single Layer Of Material Creates A Flat Band For High-temp Quantum Effects
Researchers report that a single layer of material can create a flat electronic band, a structure that enables quantum effects at relatively high temperatures. Flat bands trap electrons so they interact strongly, a condition usually requiring extreme cooling, so achieving it in an atomically thin layer could point toward more practical quantum devices and superconductors. Details of the study and its implications for quantum technology are drawing attention.
