Einmalig scharfer Röntgenblick
Ein neues Verfahren des PSI erlaubt die quantenphysikalische Erforschung von Materialien mithilfe von Röntgenlasern.
A time-domain phase diagram of metastable quantum states
Our collaborators at the Jozef Stefan Institute – the leading author, Jan Ravnik, is now a PSI Fellow at LMN – report a ‘dynamical’ phase diagram of metastable quantum states generated via photoexcitation of the prototypical dichalcogenide material 1T-TaS2.
Was Wasser mit Quantenmagneten gemein hat
Bei hohem Druck verschmelzen flüssiges Wasser und Wasserdampf – die Phasengrenze verschwindet. Forschende haben jetzt ein ähnliches Verhalten in einem Quantenmagneten entdeckt.
Neuer Bauplan für stabilere Quantencomputer
PSI-Forscher haben gezeigt, wie sich schnellere und genauere Quantenbits erschaffen liessen. Die zentralen Elemente sind dabei magnetische Atome aus der Klasse der sogenannten Seltenen Erden, die gezielt in das Kristallgitter eines Materials eingebracht würden.
Magnetic vortices come full circle
The first experimental observation of three-dimensional magnetic ‘vortex rings’ provides fundamental insight into intricate nanoscale structures inside bulk magnets, and offers fresh perspectives for magnetic devices.
Harnessing components from the optical internet for programmable spectroscopy
A novel concept for extracting information from spectra where traditional post-processing procedures fail, dubbed ‘software-defined spectroscopy’, offers a fresh approach to high-resolution terahertz spectroscopy. The new method implements an ‘optical comb’ and combines it with a programmable modulator, all using components from the optical internet.
Scientists develop a new kind of qubit based on the concept of Schrödinger’s cat
Scientists in the Applied Physics department of Yale University – one of the leading authors, Alexander Grimm, has in the meantime relocated to PSI – have developed a new device that combines the Schrödinger’s cat concept of superposition (a physical system existing in two states at once) with the ability to fix some of the trickiest errors in a quantum computation.
The tiniest secrets of integrated circuits revealed
New research has demonstrated that the secrets of the tiniest active structures in integrated circuits can be revealed using a non-destructive imaging technique. The breakthrough required the efforts of an international team of scientists from JKU and Keysight Technologies (Austria), ETH/EPFL/PSI and IBM Research - Europe (Switzerland) and from UCL (UK).
Spin ice expands to higher orders
With experimental work demonstrating that the correlated ground state of the pyrochlore system Ce2Sn2O7 is a quantum liquid of magnetic octupoles, an international team led by PSI researcher Romain Sibille establishes a fundamentally new state of matter: higher-rank multipole ice.
