🔥New Time Crystals discovery published today in Science Magazine🔥 Researchers from the Paul Drude Institute for Solid State Electronics (PDI) and Instituto Balseiro have observed - for the first time - a time crystal on a microscale semiconductor chip oscillating at a rate of several billion times per second, unveiling exceptionally high non-linear dynamics in the GHz range. The experiment results, published in this week's Science Magazine, establish a firm connection between formerly uncorrelated areas of non-linear exciton-polariton dynamics and coherent optomechanics at GHz frequencies. According to the research team, this experiment shows promise for using time crystals in integrated and microwave photonics.  PDI's Alexander Kuznetzov, Klaus Biermann, and Paulo Ventura Santos collaborated with Alejandro Fainstein and his team at CAB-IB in Bariloche on the study. #NewResearch #TimeCrystals #photonics #optomechanics

### The Emerging Field of Photonics Photonics, the science of generating, controlling, and detecting light, is revolutionizing technology across multiple sectors. This field focuses on the use of photons instead of electrons for applications ranging from telecommunications to medical devices. Recent advancements include the development of silicon photonics, which integrates optical components into microchips, drastically improving data transfer speeds and energy efficiency. Unexpectedly, photonic crystals are being used to create ultra-thin, highly efficient solar cells. Photonics also plays a critical role in quantum computing, enabling faster and more secure data processing. The potential of photonics to transform industries is immense and only beginning to be realized. #Photonics #OpticalTechnology #QuantumComputing

A recent study published in Nature Communications introduces a novel method for integrating photonic circuits with electronic systems. This advancement could bridge the gap between photonics and electronics, leading to faster and more efficient data processing. By leveraging hybrid integration techniques, researchers have demonstrated improved signal processing capabilities and reduced power consumption. This could have significant implications for the development of next-generation optical communication systems and quantum computing. https://lnkd.in/g8JiqAzd #Photonics #OpticalEngineering #DataProcessing Figure 1 from: Moralis-Pegios, M., Giamougiannis, G., Tsakyridis, A. et al.

Silicon photonics light the way toward large-scale applications in quantum information. In a significant leap forward for quantum technology, researchers have achieved a milestone in harnessing the frequency dimension within integrated photonics. This breakthrough not only promises advancements in quantum computing, but also lays the groundwork for ultra-secure communications networks. Researchers from the Centre for Nanosciences and Nanotechnology (C2N), Télécom Paris, and STMicroelectronics (STM) have overcome previous limitations by developing silicon ring resonators with a footprint smaller than 0.05 mm2 capable of generating over 70 distinct frequency channels spaced 21 GHz apart. This allows for the parallelization and independent control of 34 single qubit-gates using just three standard electro-optic devices. The device can efficiently generate frequency-bin entangled photon pairs that are readily manipulable—critical components in the construction of quantum networks. https://lnkd.in/g6fYPvKU #quantumcomputing #quantumtechnologies #photonics

Quantum dots – nanoparticles of semiconductors – were first theorized in the 1970s and then successfully synthesized in the early 1980s. When semiconductor particles are made small enough, they exhibit quantum size effects, which restrict the energies at which electrons and holes (the absence of electrons) can exist within the particle. As energy is linked to wavelength (or color), this results in the optical properties of the particle being tunable based on its size. By controlling the size of the particle, it can be made to emit or absorb specific wavelengths (colors) of light.
