MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...

With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...

The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...
