Observation of strong coupling and cavity quantum electrodynamics in a solid-state MASER at room-temperature
Creating practical solid-state, quantum computers that operate at room-temperature is a challenging task. This is because stored information is readily destroyed by thermal noise. A signature of a physical system’s ability to function as a quantum computer is the...
Revealing the Structure of Human Chromosomes and Nucleus in Three Dimensions
When we talk about chromosomes, the familiar images with an X-shape would probably flash into our minds. Did you ever think that the chromosomes could be in other shapes, not the X-shape, with an organized structure? A team led by LCN researchers, Prof. Ian Robinson...
Characterization of a pentacene-based room-temperature MASER
A paper published in Scientific Reports by LCN researchers based at both UCL and Imperial College, presents the first thorough characterisation of a room temperature, zero-field MASER (a type of laser emitting microwaves); a system that was only discovered in 2012....
