Waveguide-style approach promises to pair the versatility of phononic quantum technologies with the tight control of photonic ...

Electron–phonon interactions underpin a diverse range of phenomena in quantum many-body systems. These interactions, whereby electrons couple with lattice vibrations (phonons), are central to ...

Researchers at Rice University and their collaborators have achieved a groundbreaking demonstration of strong interference between phonons, the quantum units of vibrations that carry heat and sound ...

Phonons, and in particular surface acoustic wave phonons, have been proposed as a means to coherently couple distant solid-state quantum systems. Individual phonons in a resonant structure can be ...

Just as overlapping ripples on a pond can amplify or cancel each other out, waves of many kinds—including light, sound and atomic vibrations—can interfere with one another. At the quantum level, this ...

A team of scientists has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in wave-guides considerably further than has previously been possible using laser light. This achievement represents a significant ...

Device could help link different quantum systems, supporting advances in computing and secure communication. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have created a chip-based device that can split phonons — tiny ...

When you turn on a lamp to brighten a room, you are experiencing light energy transmitted as photons, which are small, discrete quantum packets of energy. These photons must obey the sometimes strange ...

Entanglement -- linking distant particles or groups of particles so that one cannot be described without the other -- is at the core of the quantum revolution changing the face of modern technology.
