Controllable electron flow in quantum wires

Princeton researchers have demonstrated a new way of making controllable “quantum wires” in the presence of a magnetic field, according to a study published in Nature. Continue reading “Controllable electron flow in quantum wires”

Basic Quantum theory, Relativity, elementary particle Physics and ‘Non-Continuity of Time’ found in the writings of Epicurus (4th-3rd Century B.C.)!

Epicurus had written more than 20 books on Physics. Unfortunately, only about 20 pages of his Scientific writings survive. But, in these pages quite a few impressive things show up. An original analysis and presentation of the finds follows. Continue reading “Basic Quantum theory, Relativity, elementary particle Physics and ‘Non-Continuity of Time’ found in the writings of Epicurus (4th-3rd Century B.C.)!”

High-performance quantum dot mode-locked laser on silicon

Ten years into the future. That’s about how far UC Santa Barbara electrical and computer engineering professor John Bowers and his research team are reaching with the recent development of their mode-locked quantum dot lasers on silicon. It’s technology that not only can massively increase the data transmission capacity of data centers, telecommunications companies and network hardware products to come, but do so with high stability, low noise and the energy efficiency of silicon photonics.

Direct-write quantum calligraphy in monolayer semiconductors

Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have developed a way to directly write quantum light sources, which emit a single photon of light at a time, into monolayer semiconductors such as tungsten diselenide (WSe2). Single photon emitters (SPEs), or quantum emitters, are key components in a wide range of nascent quantum-based technologies, including computing, secure communications, sensing and metrology.
