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 […]
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 […]

David Gauthier presents a poster at the GDR U.P. event. The “Ultrafast Phenomena” Research Group GDR n° 3754 (U.P.) studies matter on ultrashort time scales. The GDR U.P. began on January 1, 2016. It brings together the French community of experimenters and theoreticians interested in phenomena on the Attosecond, Femtosecond and Picosecond time scales and […]
The European OPTOlogic project held its first in-person CGA meeting in Benasque, Huesca, at the “Pedro Pascual” Science Center on March 9th and 10th, 2023. Notably, ICREA Professor of ICFO Dr. Jens Biegert and project manager Judith Salvador from ICFO organized the successful meeting to unite the entire project consortium. The primary objectives of the […]
