In a remarkable development, researchers have successfully turned light into a supersolid for the first time, paving the way for new insights into the unusual quantum states of matter. This ...

Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a phase of matter that is at once rigid and frictionless. Instead of treating ...

Light, in its basic photon form, has been manipulated by scientists to behave like a solid. As a result, this expands the possibility of transforming other elements too and accelerates physics to a ...

An international research team led by physicists from Collaborative Research Centre 1238, 'Control and Dynamics of Quantum Materials' at the University of Cologne has implemented a new variant of the ...

The group of Prof. Xiao-Song Ma at Nanjing University has demonstrated the faithful teleportation from telecom photons to erbium-ion based quantum memory. The key elements for this achievement are the ...
