Harvard Quantum Optics Scientist Honoured with 2015 Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics

This year's Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics will be awarded to Prof. Mikhail Lukin (Harvard University), one of the world's leading scientists in quantum optics and nanophotonics. His work on controlling matter down to the individual atom level and light waves down to the one-photon level has opened the doors to a wide range of new concepts in applied physics. The award, accompanied by US$ 5,000, will be presented at the Magnus-Haus in Berlin, Germany, on 21 October 2015 in conjunction with a public lecture given by the physicist.

SLAC’s Upgraded High-Power Laser Could Help Recreate Universe’s Most Extreme Conditions

A newly upgraded high-power laser at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will blaze new trails across many fields of science by recreating the universe’s most extreme conditions, such as those at the heart of stars and planets, in a lab.

Most Stable Light Source to Study Exoplanets

In order to be able to detect planets comparable to Earth, the CHEOPS satellite, which will be sent into orbit at the end of 2017, must be able to measure the luminosity of a star with inimitable accuracy. In order to test CHEOPS detectors researchers need a stable source of light. However there was no instrument capable of producing a light source with sufficient stability to be used as a reference… until today. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, has just filed for a European patent.

Researchers Exploit Orbital Angular Momentum for Neutron-Based Quantum Information Processing and Imaging

It's easy to contemplate the wave nature of light in common experience. White light passing through a prism spreads out into constituent colors; it diffracts from atmospheric moisture into a rainbow; light passing across a sharp edge or a diffraction grating creates an interference pattern.

Study Results Help Understand Quantum Entanglement in Light-Matter Systems

Just as in the well-known children's story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, something good happens when things are done in moderation, rather than in extremes.
