Following the funding of the QUANTUM2DTMD project in 2023, the teams involved from MPQ, LSI, and CdF recently published an article in Nature. Spatial photonic crystals (SPCs) are unique structures for light–matter interactions because they achieve a large and spatially periodic dielectric contrast on wavelength scales. Their temporal analogues, photonic time crystals (PTCs), promise similar… Read more: Plasmonic metamaterial time crystal

The Helium on networks team at LCF recently published an article in Nature. Second-order phase transitions are characterized by critical scaling and universality. The singular behaviour of thermodynamic quantities at the transition, in particular, is determined by critical exponents of the universality class of the transition. However, critical properties are also characterized by the probability… Read more: Non-Gaussian statistics of the order parameter across a phase transition

The QITE Photonics team at MPQ recently published an article in Optica Quantum. The QITE team at the MPQ Laboratory, in collaboration with STMicroelectronics, C2N, and INPHYNI, published a paper in Optica Quantum on the generation and engineering of two-photon states using III-V/SOI hybrid devices. This study, featured on the cover of the February 25,… Read more: Biphoton state generation and engineering with bright hybrid III–V/silicon photonic devices

The Fermi Gas team at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel recently published an article in Physical Review Letter. Atom-based quantum simulators offer a unique platform that enables the imaging of each particle in a many-body system. Until now, however, this capability has been limited to quantum systems in discretized space such as optical lattices and tweezers, where… Read more: Quantum Gas Microscopy of Fermions in the Continuum

The Fermi Gas team at LKB recently published an article in the journal Physical Review Letters. The authors: We report on the imaging of the in situ spatial distribution of deterministically prepared single-atom wave packets as they expand in a plane, finding excellent agreement with the scaling dynamics predicted by the Schrödinger equation. Our measurement provides a direct… Read more: In-situ Imaging of a Single-Atom Wave Packet in Continuous Space

The “Crystals and Quantum State Dynamics” team at Chimie ParisTech recently published in the journal Nanophotonics on the occasion of the special issue on the year of quantum science and technology, entitled: Quantum Light : creation, integration, and applications Les auteurs : Thin films offer nanoscale confinement while maintaining compatibility with photonic and microwave architectures,… Read more: Sub-MHz homogeneous linewidth in epitaxial Y2O3: Eu3+ thin film on silicon

Researchers of the BEC team from the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Collège de France, published an article in the Physical Review Letters. The authors : Binary dipolar mixtures hold great potential for realizing exotic quantum phases, including supersolids—states of matter that combine crystalline order with superfluidity. In this work, we demonstrate the creation and stabilization of… Read more: Production and stabilization of a spin mixture of ultracold dipolar Bose gases

Researchers of the QITE Photonics team from the MPQ laboratory, recently published an article in the Physical Review Letters. The authors : High-dimensional entangled states of light provide novel possibilities for quantum information, from fundamental tests of quantum mechanics to enhanced computation and communication protocols. In this context, the spatial degree of freedom stands out as… Read more: Tunable Generation of Spatial Entanglement in Nonlinear Waveguide Arrays

Researchers of the BEC team from the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Collège de France, published an article in the Physical Review A. The authors : Dipolar gases like erbium and dysprosium have a dense spectrum of resonant loss features associated with their strong anisotropic interaction potential. These resonances display various behaviors with density and temperature, implying… Read more: Loss features in ultracold 162 Dy gases: Two- versus three-body processes
