New Method for Measuring High-Dimensional Qudits Encoded in Quantum Frequency Combs

Using existing experimental and computational resources, a multi-institutional team has developed an effective method for measuring high-dimensional qudits encoded in quantum frequency combs, which are a type of photon source, on a single optical chip.

Research Provides a Framework for Experiments Involving Disordered Kitaev Spin Liquids

Spin is the intrinsic magnetic moment of a particle – an electron, for example. It is a fundamental magnitude, like mass and charge. Simply put, it is as if the particle had a magnet inside it that enabled it to interact, even while at rest, not only with the spins of other particles but also with external magnetic fields.
