Scientists have successfully trapped light inside a magnet, which could potentially lead to groundbreaking applications. This remarkable achievement opens up new possibilities in the field of photonics and quantum computing. The experiment involved cooling a crystal to extremely low temperatures and placing it in a powerful magnetic field.
This could open doors to technologies we thought were impossible.
A new study led by Vinod M. Menon and his research group at The City College of New York shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical responses of magnets are important for the development of magnetic lasers and magneto-optical memory devices, as well as for emerging quantum transduction applications.
From a team of City College of New York physicists and their collaborators in Japan and Germany comes another advancement in the study of excitons —
