Quantum materials are materials with unique electronic, magnetic or optical properties, which are underpinned by the behavior of electrons at a quantum mechanical level. Studies have showed that ...

Up or down: the new Floquet maser relies on the relative alignments of nuclear spins and an applied magnetic field. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/SIM VA) A new type of maser made from periodically driven ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD), in collaboration with international partners, have developed momentum-resolved Floquet optical selection rules.

If you drive a quantum system with a perfectly time-periodic force, that drive can reshape the system's quantum states into new, controllable 'dressed' states with properties that differ from the ...

Recently, the exploration of Bloch oscillations (BOs) in periodically driven quantum systems, equivalent to "Floquet systems," has drawn tremendous attention because their exotic characteristics are ...

Solution-processed semiconductor nanocrystals are also called colloidal quantum dots (QDs). While the concept of size-dependent quantum effects had been long known to physicists, a sculpture of the ...

Physicists have achieved a breakthrough by using a 58-qubit quantum computer to create and observe a long-theorized but never-before-seen quantum phase of matter: a Floquet topologically ordered state ...

Floquet engineering: The periodic driving field contains a leading order contribution (left) and a correction term (centre). It generates the target Floquet Hamiltonian (right) that supports ...

Graphene is an extraordinary material—a sheet of interlocking carbon atoms just one atom thick that is stable and extremely conductive. This makes it useful in a range of areas, such as flexible ...
