Optical Dissipative Solitons Can Also Exist in Small Millimeter-Size Optical Resonators

Soliton water waves can travel several kilometers without any significant change in their shape or amplitude, as opposed to normal waves, which widen as they travel, and eventually disappear. Discovered over 150 years ago in water canals, solitons represent a surprising phenomenon of wave propagation and have been observed in natural phenomena including moving sand dunes and space plasmas.

New Quantum Lithography Protocol May Help Improve Resolution of Photolithography

Photolithography uses light beams to design thin geometric patterns on the substrates of semiconductors used in microelectronic devices. This is achieved using a chemical reaction on a light-sensitive chemical, called photoresist.

Intuition-Defying Quantum Interactions Help Organisms Gather Light to Fuel Growth

Sophisticated recent experiments with ultrashort laser pulses support the idea that intuition-defying quantum interactions between molecules help plants, algae, and some bacteria efficiently gather light to fuel their growth. But key details of nature's vital light-harvesting mechanisms remain obscure, and the exact role that quantum physics may play in understanding them is more subtle than was once thought, according to an Overview Article in the January issue of BioScience.

Photon Pairs Produced Through Four-Wave Mixing in Cold Atomic Vapour

Quantum technologies for communication and computation can play on the strengths of different systems: photons are good for zipping information around, atoms are good for storage. CQT researchers have demonstrated a technique for producing entangled photon pairs that promises to help interface the two.
