Researchers Utilize Terahertz Flashes to Investigate Light Tsunamis in a Superconductor

In their latest experiment, Prof. Andrea Cavalleri from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter at the Hamburg-based Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) and Dr. Michael Gensch from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) investigated together with other colleagues from the HZDR, the United Kingdom, and Japan if and how superconductivity can be systematically controlled.

Scientists Perform Ultrafast Logic Gate on a Photon Using Semiconductor Quantum Dots

If you could peek at the inner workings of a computer processor you would see billions of transistors switching back and forth between two states. In optical communications, information from the switches can be encoded onto light, which then travels long distances through glass fiber.

New Fiber Laser System to Produce Next Generation of Particle Accelerators

An international team of physicists has proposed a revolutionary laser system, inspired by the telecommunications technology, to produce the next generation of particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Researchers Observe Process of Spin Collapse in Atoms by Measuring Scattered Photons

One of the most basic laws of quantum mechanics is that a system can be in more than one state – it can exist in multiple realities – at once. This phenomenon, known as the superposition principle, exists only so long as the system is not observed or measured in any way.

BU Physicists Partner in Study on New Findings about Higgs Boson

The new particle discovered at experiments at the CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) last summer is looking more like a Higgs boson than ever before. The CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) scientists, including a number of BU physicists, released new findings about the Higgs boson last week at CERN’s Moriond Conference in La Thuile, Italy.

Superconducting Quantum-Interference Devices Help Extract Microwave Photons out of Vacuum's Quantum Noise

The researchers conducted a mirror experiment to show that by changing the position of the mirror in a vacuum, virtual particles can be transformed into real photons that can be experimentally observed. In a vacuum, there is energy and noise, the existence of which follows the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics.
