Quantum Breakthrough: How Multiphoton Effects Redefine Light Interference Finding offers new starting points for research into photonic quantum information systems. An international team of researchers from Leibniz University Hannover (Germany) and the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow (United Kingdom) has disproved a previously held assumption about the impact of multiphoton components in interference effects of thermal fields (e.g. sunlight) and parametric single photons (generated in non-linear crystals).

I am pleased to announce our recent collaboration with the esteemed Prof. Zahid Hasan group at #Princeton University's Laboratory for Topological Quantum Matter. Our joint effort has led to a remarkable discovery, detailed in the prestigious #Nature Journal, unveiling an unprecedented form of topological quantum behavior within elemental solid crystals composed of arsenic (As) atoms. Termed as "hybrid topology," this newly identified quantum state showcases a fusion of edge and surface states within arsenic crystals, presenting a paradigm-shifting revelation in quantum phenomena. Leveraging cutting-edge imaging methodologies, our findings represent a significant stride forward in the realm of quantum materials research, promising profound implications for the development of innovative quantum devices and technologies." https://lnkd.in/gATsQmfr

Aromatic Graphene-META material I mentioned earlier that the quantum resonance of the octagonal ring within our aromatic Graphene nano structure has the ability to heal mis-ordered nano structures. This research proved it. #quantumphysicstechnology #META-materials #aromaticgraphene #NLfirstgraphenethinfilm-battery factory

We are leading a new £58.8 million project that will unlock new secrets of the world’s smallest particles. Announced by UK Research and Innovation, the funding is part of a £473 million investment in new infrastructure for UK science and innovation. The project will enable researchers to study quarks and gluons inside polarised protons as well as inside protons and neutrons combined in larger atomic nuclei to better understand their properties. Working with the US, these discoveries could lead to technological breakthroughs in other areas of science and medicine. The UK-US collaboration will see new detector and accelerator infrastructure installed at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), a major new particle accelerator facility at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States.

Just back in Stockholm from an incredible experience at EUCAS23 conference in Bologna! During this event I had the opportunity to meet researchers from all around the world, a few of which I had already met in previous conferences/ summer schools and working experiences. It was, without a doubt, the largest event of this kind I've ever attended, offering an enlightening overview on research fields closely related to mine and their applications to shape the future of superconductive technology: from quantum computing and cutting-edge material science, to the developments magnets for accelerators and fusion reactors. In the photo below, here am I, in front of my conference poster showing part of my research at Stockholm University. The topic I presented is a preliminary study on how the synchronization of up to a thousand of superconducting microscopic devices, Josephson junctions, can be exploited to make a coherent, efficient and tunable source of high frequency microwaves / THz radiation. If you are interested to know more about this topic, you can find here the full paper summarized in the poster. https://lnkd.in/dfXTWuMq

Nonlinear light #microscopy has revolutionized our ability to observe and understand complex biological processes. However, light can also damage living matter. Yet, the mechanism behind the irreversible perturbation of cellular processes by intense light remains poorly understood. Great collab of research groups of Hanieh Fattahi and Daniel Wehner at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light & Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin to identify the conditions under which intense pulsed lasers can be used in vivo without damaging the organism.   Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/ehM9aewr #light #laser #science #research #MPL #MPZPM
