LCN Professor Awarded Honorary Doctorate by Uppsala University
Professor Steven T. Bramwell (LCN and UCL Department of Physics & Astronomy) has been awarded an honorary doctorate (FDhc) at Uppsala University, Sweden. Founded in 1477, Uppsala University is the oldest university in Scandinavia. The title of honorary doctor...
New scalability potential for hybrid superconducting-spin systems in the atomic quantum space
The direction of quantum research indicates that future computers will require a ‘quantum hard-drive’; where quantum information is stored before future processing. Spin-ensemble memories can have extremely long coherence times, particularly at magnetic field...
Coherently driven microcavity-polaritons and the question of superfluidity
If particles of light (photons) are trapped in a two dimensional cavity, then they can couple electron-hole pairs present in semiconductors in the cavity. The resultant composite particles, which we call polaritons, flow like fluids do and can exhibit quantum...
