In a recently study published in Reports on Progress in Physics, researchers Irénée Frérot, Matteo Fadel and ICREA Prof. at ICFO Maciej Lewenstein, review methods that allow one to detect and characterize quantum correlations in many-body systems, with a special focus on approaches which are scalable. Maciej Lewenstein gives a brief overview about the study in the following […]
The local newspaper ARA and ARA Balears interviews Prof. Jens Biegert for the Nobel Prize 2023 on Attoscience. Biegert collaborated with several Nobel Laureates, so the local newspaper wanted to interview him to learn and understand more about this field of science. Link to the news online
Nobel Prize for Attosecond Pulse Development Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne l’Huillier receive the Nobel Prize “for developing experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for studying electron dynamics in matter.” (Attosecond Pulse Development) Revolutionizing Electron Dynamics The three Nobel Laureates in Physics 2023 are being recognized for their experiments, which have provided […]
In a recent study in Nature, an international team of researchers demonstrates theoretically and experimentally the capabilities that solid-state simulators could have in reproducing peculiar states of matter by mimicking electronic behaviour and observing their outcomes. Quantum simulation with excitons Simple Quantum-Mechanical Models To describe matter on a microscopic level, physicists rely on very simple […]
On June 29, 2023, Adrien Cavaillès, representative from the LightOn partner within the consortium of OPTOlogic, was invited to give a presentation at the 2023 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics/Europe – European Quantum Electronics Virtual Conferences (CLEO®/Europe-EQEC 2023), which took place from 26 – 30 June 2023, in Munich, Germany. The CLEO®/Europe-EQEC conference series is […]
The Quantum Sounds Symposium took place from June 6 to 8, 2023, offering the public and the ICFO community an opportunity to explore the intersection between quantum physics and music composition, data sonification, interactive sound design, and audio software development. The three-day event featured a series of talks, lecture-recitals, and Quantum Random Number Generator jam […]
What is attosecond science, and how is it used? Optica Fellow Jens Biegert, ICFO, Spain, explains how the field unravels how things work inside materials using ultrashort laser pulses. If you enjoyed this glimpse into the world of attosecond science, dive deeper into the cutting edge of optics and photonics research on the Optica YouTube […]
Ein Photon rein, zwei Elektronen raus https://pro-physik.de/nachrichten/ein-photon-rein-zwei-elektronen-raus Exzitonenspaltung für die Entwicklung hocheffizienter Photovoltaik. Die Photovoltaik ist eine Schlüsseltechnologie für eine nachhaltige Energieversorgung. Bei nur wenigen molekularen Materialien wie Pentacen wird ein Photon in zwei Elektronen umgewandelt. Diese Anregungsverdopplung, die als Exzitonenspaltung bezeichnet wird, könnte für die Entwicklung hocheffizienter Photovoltaik äußerst nützlich sein, insbesondere um die […]
Exciton Fission Breakthrough: Revolutionizing High-Efficiency Photovoltaics Photovoltaics, the conversion of light to electricity, is a key technology for sustainable energy. In fact, since the days of Max Planck and Albert Einstein, we have known that both light and electricity are quantized, meaning they come in tiny packets called photons and electrons. In a typical solar […]
Exciton fission – one photon in, two electrons out by Staff Writers Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 07, 2023 Unraveling the Mystery of Exciton Fission “When pentacene is excited by light, the electrons in the material rapidly react,” explains Prof. Ralph Ernstorfer, a senior author of the study. “It was an open and very disputed question […]
