For the first time ICFO researchers, in collaboration with scientists from UAB, have directly imaged a spin-orbit-coupled supersolid. The team has observed quantum fluids of atoms forming stripes whose spacing oscillates in time, as the spacing of a crystal does. The study, published in Science, demonstrates unequivocally the dual superfluid and crystalline nature of such systems.

Researchers have used sunlight, despite its low coherence and intensity, to generate entangled photon pairs. The results, published in Optica, overturn the long-held belief that lasers, even with their high energy cost, are the most appropriate source of entangled photons.

¿Qué tienen en común Antoni Gaudí y físicos cuánticos como Daniel Barredo, Ignacio Cirac o Leticia Tarruell? Javier Argüello Luengo, co-autor junto con Alejandro González Tudela del libro “Simuladores cuánticos, construyendo las maquetas del mundo microscópico”, nos muestra las similitudes entre el trabajo del arquitecto y el de los físicos especializados en simulación cuántica.
