From superlattices to supercrystals
The concept of order is a cornerstone of condensed matter physics. Atoms order to form crystals, which, in turn, play host to other fascinating and technologically useful ordering phenomena. For example, in ferroelectric crystals, tiny displacements of ions create...
Quantum circuits with a levitated heart
A collaboration between LCN researchers and the University of Duissburg-Essen has found a way to strengthen quantum networks by levitating key components, whilst simultaneously exploring the boundaries of quantum mechanics. Do you believe in quantum physics? Quantum...
